Honsberger NV Blanc de Blancs (Ontario Wine #463)
Blanc de Blancs made from 100% Chardonnay, their first and it's really good
Honsberger NV Blanc de Blancs
--- THE WRITTEN REVIEW ---
After playing around with Riesling bubbles, Honsberger finally gets serious and puts the 2019 Schuele Chardonnay into bottle for 24 months on lees and creates a beauty of a traditional method white of whites. Great acidity is the hallmark followed by a nice toasty-biscuity-ness along with green apple and a touch of floral. Great first effort using Chardonnay looking forward to the future vintages of this wine – maybe even with a date on them. Rating: ****+

Castello Banfi 2018 Summus (Italian Wine)
This Super Tuscan international blend is one of those unforgettable wines
Castello Banfi 2018 Summus
--- THE WRITTEN REVIEW ---
(watch the video above)
Castello Banfi 2018 Summus
Very perfumed and very fruit forward with dark plums and black cherry dominating both the nose and palate. Elegant and delicate with a good backbone of acidity that manages to push its way through all that fruit to show it whose boss - but ultimately helps carry the wine to its next sip. Deep dark fruit wins the day here. (****+)
