This really shows that blending is not just for red wines - whites can benefit too :

Bachelder 2018 Chardonnay "Les Villages"

($34.95 - available online)

What is Bellone? Is it a meat? Is it a fish? Time to find out as I look at the

Casale del Giglio 2020 Anthium Bellone

available at the winery (and other fine wine stores).

As a Gamay Noir fan I love seeing well-made version of this wine from Ontario, here's yet another :

Henry of Pelham 2019 Estate Gamay

($19.95 - available at the winery and online).

Is Barolo supposed to be so approachable right out of the gate?

Looking at the Aurelio Settimo 2015 Barolo -

available at the winery (and other fine wine stores).

It's another wine from this young winery that really impresses - Franc is definitely Vincenzo's grape

De Simone 2018 Cabernet Franc

($35.00 - available at the winery and online)

There's something in this bottle of Aussie wine that I found very surprising (and out of character?)

Bleasdale 2018 Mulberry Tree Cabernet Sauvignon

available at the winery (and other fine wine stores)

This winemaker has made some awesome Pinot in his day, this might be one of his best :

Meldville Wines 2018 Pinot Noir

($27.00 - available at Legends winery and online)

One of my favourite grapes to pronounce makes an appearance in today's video :

Fattoria Le Pupille 2018 Morellino di Scansano

available at the winery (and other fine wine stores)

Ever wonder how Pondview gets all that goodness into their Bella Terra wines?

I'm about to tell you with this review of the

Pondview 2016 Bella Terra Cabernet Sauvignon

($44.95 - available at the winery and online)
