New wine to try

I was just alerted to this wonderful Brunello by a colleague. Barbi Brunello di Montalcino is available at the SAQ (#00742478) for $44.25 per bottle. I will give my own impressions when i have a chance to enjoy a bottle. If you get around to trying it, let me know what you think.

Try to get the 2004, it is noted to be the best year to date.

Wine Find

I recently came across this great wine under $30. We enjoyed it last weekend with a lovely roast loin of pork with a grainy mustard pan gravy. Nice acidity to cut through the richness of the meat and its sauce. Flavours were dominated by cherry and black plums.

This wine is available at the SAQ (#00573402) Mercurey Michel Juillot 2006. Price$28.30
