NOTE BY ZOLTAN
SZABO:
A full and rich
white, Burgundian – style, with quince,
yellow plums, lemon mousse, vanilla, oak
spice bouquet and palate; with spicy cedar,
pineapple finish; and it’s just great
already, although I am sensing that it’s not
even fully integrated yet, and can just
benefit from further aging.

Merlot Reserve 2005
$25.40RED [IN
STOCK]
NOTE BY ZOLTAN
SZABO:
Has a small amount of Petit Verdot blended
in it to add more acidity and colour. Aromas
of raspberries, cranberries, blueberries,
deep spice, fermented tobacco and orange
rind. Medium to full bodied, still very
youthful and fresh, with lots of ripe fruit
and smooth, sweet tannins. The long finish
sports interesting herbal flavour notes. And
it’s just getting released, so hurry up and
order it, you won’t regret. Perfect with
beef stroganoff. -

France
"The site
determines the quality of the wine." This
basic concept of terroir came from France.
The French hold to the concept that nature
and geography make the wine, thus there is
no French word for winemaker but rather "vigneron"
which translates grape grower.
We represent
dozens of wineries from Burgundy, Bordeaux
and Chateauneuf Du Pape. Complete list
available upon request. Selected wines are
shown at right.
