$17.95 – Jacob’s Creek Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Limestone Coast 2018
What do I think: On the dry side, medium bodied in my mind, house wine in style, Chianti - ish that you can drink anything with. What the Experts say: The unique soils and mild climate of Australia's Limestone Coast create some of Australia's finest red wines....
$16.95 – Johnny Q Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
What the Experts Say: Winemaker John Quarisa spent 24 years making big-brand wines before creating his own label. This Cabernet offers good quality, with impressively articulated dark fruit and cassis and a vanilla underbelly. A nice option for lamb burgers. (Vintages...
$19.05 – Red Knot Cabernet Sauvignon
What the Experts Say: Dark ruby colour; aromas of dark berry, light spice with herb and sweet oaky notes; dry, medium-full body, with a firm structure, black currant and plum flavours; and a long finish. What do I think: Wonderful aroma to start, a fresh and...
$14.25 – Rymill 2015 The Yearling Cabernet Sauvignon
You don’t often see quality Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon for such a low price. Made in an enjoyably ripe and rewarding style, this is surprisingly concentrated, with an attractive supple texture. —Chris Waters, editor/co-founder of Vines Magazine...

Australia What to Expect: They say medium bodied I say full bodied either way it is meant to be served with a nice piece of meat! Rich, smooth and full of flavors!

$16.95 – Wolf Blass 2017 Shiraz
Dense, almost inky maroon/purple. On the nose, there’s a light dusting of pepper overtop a rich, plummy, mulberry/blackberry base. The pepper is mostly gone, though, by the time it reaches your lips, at which point an earthy dark fruit assumes the reins in this nicely...
$14.95 – Wakefield Promised Land 2017
Plump and juicy, with a 14% alcohol that complements the arrangement. A little wet forest floor, plums and currants on the nose, leading to a more fleshy red berry palate in this soft Shiraz. I recommend a slight chill to pull away some of the chocolate sweetness. Not...
$18.95 – Stoneleigh Marlborough Pinot Noir
Sushi does go with white but we also found out that it goes nicely with this colorful medium bodied flavourful Pinot Noir out of the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Wonderful aromas and a nice dry finish. A birthday dinner at Fune Japanese Restaurant, one of my...
