We're finishing good ... another burger alert! I'm starting to enjoy reds quite a bit more than when I first started. Couple reasons beyond acquiring a taste ... they go with pizza's and burgers!

OK ... I admit it ... starting to develope a taste for reds ... and actually go looking for certain things now! I was in the LCBO recently and was looking for a Pinot Noir under $10 (and not to many of them!!) ... anyway, saw this Shiraz from Pelee Island (going to visit there REAL soon). I looked at the back and it said it went well with Cajun food and a spicy barbeque. Well I had just picked up some special Jalepeno cheese and thought I would give it a try. WOW ... the wine had a very smooth taste with a small hint of "zing" on the front end (which I really enjoy - don't like the real dry experience) and a really nice aroma. And the pairing? Aweome! Solid 8/10 and Pelee Island continues to impress!

Today we go with TWO favorites ... my favorite style being Sauvignon Blanc and my new favorite region that is producing many fine wines under $10 ... namely Pelee Island. I only hope that their Sauvignon Blanc bellies up to the "wine bar" in true form!
PELEE ISLAND SAUVIGNON BLANC
LCBO 621193 | 750 mL bottle
Well no surprise here! After seeing great results from other varietals, Pelee Island has another winner on their hands with their Sauvignon Blanc! Added to the traditional grassy smell (though not as pronounced as the Australian/New Zealand varietals - a new word I like) and zesty, citrus flavor ... there is also a unique tart lemon taste (kinda like a lemon meringue pie) that also is very pleasing ... this wine does not disappoint. I would definitely recommend it to friends and give it a 9/10 ... maybe a half point advantage for being homegrown Canadian but that's my perogative! But its also one of my reasons that I will be visiting Pelee Island next summer!
Price: $ 9.95 , White Wine, 12.0% Alcohol/Vol., Sugar Content : 1
Made in: Ontario, Canada, By: Pelee Island Vineyard Inc.
Tasting Note - Light golden colour; fresh clean aromas of gooseberry with herbaceous, mineral notes; dry, crisp with light citrus, very zesty flavours.
Serving Suggestion - Seafood salad, grilled shrimp, herbed dishes, lighter cheeses, chicken with cream sauce.

I've had recent success (at least in my own mind!!) in finding a new grape that I really enjoy ... Pinot Grigio. In the local LCBO last night I found another Ontario wine ... I've had good luck on the last two from Ontario and wanted to try a "local" Pinot Grigio.
PELEE ISLAND PINOT GRIGIO
LCBO 621219 750 mL bottle
And it did not disappoint!!! Pelee Island continues to impress ... this Pinot has a fruity and flower aroma and is very crisp in the mouth. I initially chilled the wine (as I do all my whites) but found that as it got less chilled, the citus flavors literally exploded. The taste was very refreshing and I think this will tie a previous Pinot ... mabe we'll have a video challenge later in this series if we don't get a clear winner in the Pinot Grigio category! A solid 8/10 and I WILL buy it again!
Price: $ 9.95 , Wine, White Wine, , 11.9% Alcohol/Vol., Sugar Content : 1
Made in: Ontario, Canada, By: Pelee Island Vineyard Inc.

It's always fun when I find a Canadian wine that I really enjoy ... especially for under $10 (but I had to cheat again ... as you will see it was only under $10 because it was on sale - but that counts in this Blog!!) ... and from a family of grape that isn't as well known as some others!
PELEE ISLAND GEWURZTRAMINER
LCBO 135970 | 750 mL bottle
This is a complex wine ... no one flavor sticks out so read the tasting notes below for a thorough explanation. Suffice to say I agree with the notes and have to say that it goes fantastic if you are serving a spicy dish ... the pairing will blow you away if you try it. I would definitely buy it again (it's a staple in my house as I love spicy food) and rate it as an 8/10. If the regular price was under $10 it would be rated higher!!!
Price: $ 9.95, Was: $ 10.95 , Now: $ 9.95, White Wine, , 12.5% Alcohol/Vol. Sugar Content : 2
Made in: Ontario, Canada, By: Pelee Island Vineyard Inc.
Tasting Note - Pale straw/yellow colour; floral, ripe peach, honey and lychee fruit aromas; off-dry, light to medium bodied, softly structured with balanced acidity, flavours of honey suckle, rose water, pear, citrus and lychee; hints of spice on the finish.
Serving Suggestion - As an aperitif; Chinese foods; stir fries; California rolls.
