Lovers of Super Tuscan wines are gonna dig today's video for the
Ruffino 2019 Modus
From the folks at Redstone, in Ontario, Canada, comes a 2020 wine that should come as no surprise to us living in the province, but might to those new to Canadian wine :
Redstone Winery 2020 Meritage
Filmed on the balcony of my hotel room on the last (and only grey day) while in Cyprus, all other Cyprus wine videos get filmed in a vineyard in Ontario, Canada - at least I could control the weather better :
Domaine Dafermou 2021 Yannoudi, Single Vineyard Selection
The numbers 4 and 3 play a part in this wine,
which is more than the sum of its parts:
Tarapaca 2020 Etiqueta Azul, Gran Reserva
Years of painstaking DNA testing and replanting brings us a bottle of unique and delicious wine from
Fattoria Fibbiano 2017 Sanforte, Costa Toscana
I'm giving away a big secret this week -
Saumur Puy Notre Dame is a region to watch if you are a Cabernet Franc fan
Domaine des Ruaults 2021 Les Deux Croix
It has been a long time since I've had a stunning bottle of wine from Romagna;
but this one qualifies, BIG TIME:
CADISOPRA 2019 Vigna Ca' Del Rosso - Marzeno Romagna Riserva
Nobile gets "red-headed-step-child"-like respect -
but there are lots of things to like about these wines,

Avignonesi 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
This is the tale of two vintages, check out my 2020 review of this wine (linked below) -
and now here's the next vintage :
2027 Cellars 2021 Cabernet Franc, King Street Vineyard
here is a link to the video of the 2020 vintage wine:
California Cabernet is more than just Napa Valley,
as this delicious Rodney Strong proves:
Rodney Strong 2020 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
From an iconic producer comes an entry level wine that absolutely delivers:
Ornellaia 2021 Le Volte
Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is getting all the hype,
but there is room for others to step in too. Here's one from
Concha y Toro in Chile: 2020 Diablo Crystal Sauvignon Blanc
The great South African wines rarely reach our shores,
but this one must have escaped, and I am so glad it did:
Neil Ellis 2021 Syrah
Cahors Malbec can be structured and long lived.
This one is made a little differently, but still ... today it's the
Comte Jean Baptiste de Monpezat 2020 Gouleyant, Malbec de Cahors
"Riserva" wines can see too much wood and take too long to iron out the rough spots;
but then there is the
Tenuta di Nozzole 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva
