Tasting Note
A light cranberry-red in the glass and displaying aromas of cranberry, cherry and a touch of freshly baked bread on the nose. The palate is extremely well balanced with wonderfully integrated bold red fruit flavours, and a superb crisp acidity providing a firm backbone. Quite a lengthy and flavourful finish. Perfect for sipping with that special someone, or pairing with light seafood salads. (VINTAGES panel, May 2011)

In your opinion, does Saturday morning count as a special occasion?

Only if you need to find a way to drink more OJ – mimosas for everyone

We always have some on hand for special occasions and if there is any way that an order of Chinese food can accompany it then it’s truly a party! As a side note – why do so many wines end up providing “Cherry” like attributes (e.g. Shiraz)? Is that something wine makers look for?

Cherries have sweet and sour – that’s why they are great. I like the same in a wine – especially a lighter bodied wine.

This is dangerously close to another wine review. Just sayin’ is all. . . dangerously close.
I love that John equates take-out Chinese with a special occasion. Finally someone who thinks my way. If only they would come up with and all-you-can-eat take-out.

It is dangerously close to a wine review – except that I cut and pasted it from the LCBO website – so since I “borrowed” the quote I guess that nothing in this post is mine, except the photo
