Mother's Day Weekend Wine Selections - Rapid Fire Style

Courtesy guardian.co.uk

We had a great weekend of wine with family for Mother's Day.  Our list included a number of Canadian selections which really wowed us.  Below are the wines and their aggregate scores (it really was a busy weekend - there may be one on the list that make a return).

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there!

2010 Pelee Island Lighthouse Cabernet Franc (Ontario, Canada) - elegant and bold with ripe fruit and a little chocolate ($15 locally): 85%

2010 20 Bees Pinot Grigio (Ontario, Canada) - honeysuckle and citrus with a nice crisp finish ($13 locally): 80%

2010 Avondale Sky Lavender Dry Rose  (Nova Scotia, Canada) - lots of nice fruit and only a hint of muted sweetness, excellent mouthfeel ($17 locally): 82.5%

2010 Two Oceans Sauvignon Blanc (South Africa) - crisp and dry Sauv Blanc with a light lemon-lime nose and taste, great patio wine ($12 locally): 77.5%

We won't see this kind of volume until Father's Day....yeah right...who are we trying to kid. :)

Keep on drinking! (From the list above we sure did)
