Dear Reader,
On the list of summer activities two stand out: weddings and barbecues.?If you?re fortunate to attend a couple of the former and a lot of the latter?consider the wines below.
On the subject of barbecue,?the current issue of LCBO?s Food & Drink magazine has a feature on Barque Smokehouse. It?s one of Toronto?s best and I?m happy to say?the wine they selected was none other our own Vina Zaco.?Click here to read the article.

Cheers,

Vintages No. 959643

Not a large commercial producer of champagne Henriot is family-owned and focused on making a limited quantity of?exceptional wine.
?Firm and toasty, with hints of tropical fruit mixing with notes of quince, lemon zest, smoky mineral, ginger and white pepper. This finds a balance between its fresh, lively character and a sweet, juicy component, ending with a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2021?. Score ? 93.

Trimbach Reserve Pinot Gris 2008, Alsace
$22.95
Vintages No. 971762
Find Stores
We don?t often consider aging white wines,?in fairness a lot aren?t built for it, but this one may change your mind.?Below it?s suggested this humble $23 bottle will?drink well for another 16 years. That is a long time but I?m willing to take the chance. If you are pick up 6 or 12-bottles enjoy a couple now and call me in 16 years.??
?This lithe white is framed by snappy acidity and a streak of minerality, focusing the subtle weave of green pear, apple, white peach and fleur de sel flavors, with quiet hints of wax and nut. Shows fine balance throughout, with a pleasant face-off on the finish between the salty mineral character and juicy fruit notes. Drink now through 2028?. Score ? 92.

Artesa Carneros Chardonnay 2010
$23.95
Vintages No. 657585

Wines come in and out of fashion but there?s always a place for a well made California chardonnay. There?s?something about the combination of ripe fruit and vanilla ? oakiness that pleases the palate.
?A progressive Carneros style with exceptionally well-integrated oak, a touch of creaminess, lemon curd and sweet key lime pie. Finishes dry with significant minerality. A great buy?. Score ? 91 (Sara d?Amato, WineAlign.com)

Vintages No. 723643

I love this wine, it?s hard not to. It has?lots of flavour and complexity without being overblown or out of balance.??
?Big elegance for the bucks from the Rioja region. Smoky blackberry, cedar and vanilla bean aromas herald effusive spicy layers of black cherry, black olives and plump summer plums. The texture shows a fine silkiness?. Score ? 90 (Gord Stimmell, Toronto Star)
