Sean’s Take
Starts a bit hot, really well combined flavours. Some words and terms really get people going. For instance “moist” and “mouth feel” make my brain skip a beat. This wine has a really great mouth feel from start to finish. Very lush! (add “lush” to the above list)
Chuck’s Take
Notes of ripe cherry, blackberry, light-medium oak. Good structure and a great wine for an Italian dinner. starts off-dry but finishes dry with grippy tannins

Sean’s Take
A very well done unoaked chardonnay from Ontario. The cooler climate allows for a touch of acidity which makes it nice and bright. Great to serve with rich or creamy dishes, I matched it with stroganoff. This wine screams summer patio!

Sean’s Take
The first word that popped in to my head when I tasted this wine was “inoffensive”. It’s a Goldilocks wine. Not too sweet, not too dry, not too anything. This is in no way an insult. A great pick when you don’t know what your guests like or what to pair with dinner. The name is likely a play on the French Côtes du Rône – cute.

Chuck’s Take
On aroma alone you’d never guess chardonnay, but it does reveal itself in the finish. Unoaked is the only chardonnay that makes it in the cart for me. Overall a great mix-up from my usual riesling and sauvignon blanc whites.
Sean’s Take
Confession: This is my house white wine and I love it. A terrific example of how skipping the oak allows the Chardonnay to shine. I know it’s French but I promise it is not fussy.

Chuck’s Take
Lush, juicy, ripe dark berry. Perfect amount of oak and didn’t bring too much vanilla to the wine. An overall excellent benchmark value California cabernet sauvignon.
Sean’s Take
GOOD DEAL ALERT!!! Loads of black cherry and overflowing with blueberry. Silky, aromatic, deep garnet in color. This is a steal of a deal under $20. We bought a few for future enjoyment.
