Just in time for Canada Day we lead of with a surprising Chardonnay from Ontario. Still on an awesome red rampage from a smorgasbord of countries…… a revisit with a French red that makes me think I should try more, a Spanish red that would be worth stocking up on and another delicious Late Bottled Vintage Port that you can never get enough of! Cheers………….

| Famille Perrin Les Sinards Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021: $39.95 Rhône, France
What you can Expect: Ours was a 2007 so it might have been somewhat or a whole lot smoother than what you might buy in the store today. A dry smooth silky full rich red with a nice aroma. Easy to fall for more of this. Absolutely perfect with out beef tenderloin dinner. |

| Rio Madre Graciano 2019: $17.95 Graciano
What You Can Expect: On occasion I taste a wine and immediately go buy a case. This was one of those occasions. Some of those will go down for up to 5 years. Needless to say, I way impressed, had never had the Graciano grape. Dark rich colour, intense flavour, just yummy! Get some if you can. |

Another beautiful blend 31% syrah, 29% cabernet franc, 25% carménère, and 15% cabernet sauvignon, all from organic vineyards at the Fundo Tarapacá estate in Isla de Maipo. The syrah’s ripe black fruit is very present, but it’s accompanied by herb and spice notes as well as red fruit in a tremendously fresh wine |
