Citrus, Orange, Peach
After reviewing Toro Bravos smash hit red our expectations were running high. Swing and a miss here. The citrus aromas and flavours were nice but I was put off by the very tart finish. The Sauvignon Blanc was really changed by the addition of Verdejo (vurr-day-ho), a grape primarily grown in Spain.

This wine was a bit of a surprise being under ten dollars. It has a distinctly citrus/lemon scent when you smell it. On the taste, I found melon, apple, and very ripe pear. The challenge I found with the wine is that it’s all a bit smashed together. Reminds me of those fruit cups in a tin drowned in syrup. Every bite tastes different and simultaneously the same. Strong mouthfeel, coats your mouth, almost oily. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we like a good fruit cup.
Chenin Blanc is a very underrated grape and can range from tropical to honey in flavour. I highly recommend everyone try it. It’s like a Chardonnay and a Dry Riesling had a baby.
Lime, Green Apple, White Grapefruit
Pasta Primavera, Salads
Extra dry with big acidity gives this new world riesling from Niagara, Ontario a nice tartness that finishes quick and clean. It’s very different from an old world German riesling, but good it it’s own Canadian limestone and clay soil kind of way.
Tropical Fruit, Grapefruit, Pineapple
Stroganoff, Lobster Rolls, Fettuccini Alfredo
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!
