Angels Gate Archangel Rose Brut Sparkling Wine 2009, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Raspberry splendor in a glass. Bone-dry and refreshing: made from 100% pinot noir, and the first sparkling rose produced by this winery. What a magnificent effort. Drink: 2014-2015. 203034 11.50% XD 750 mL  $25.00 Score: 90/100. March 1, 2014 Best Value Sparkling Wine. Scrumptious Seafood Wine Full Review
Saint-Roch Vielles Vignes Grenache Blanc Marsanne 2012, Côtes Du Roussillon, Midi A.P., France: Vibrant, alive and exciting, especially at this price! Floral, but not overly so, more spring day fresh, let's go for a walk way. White peach and pear hanging in a sun-dappled orchard. Fresh, zingy and ready to enliven your senses. This terrific white is made form 80% Grenache Blanc and 20% Marsanne grapes grown on 50-year-old vines planted in limestone and clay. I'm going to do my chardonnay lovin friends a favour and serve them this. Time to mix it up people! Drink: 2014-2017. 175232 13% XD 750 mL  $15.95 Score: 91/100. March 15, 2014 Best Value White Wine. Celebrated Chicken and Cream Sauce Wine Full Review
Librandi Duca Sanfelice Cirò Riserva Rosso 2009, D.O.C., Calabria, Italy: Ultra-mouth-watering: cries out for food, from grilled pork chops to roast chicken. Leather, dried herbs and black cherry. Love this! Full-bodied but not heavy and very smooth. I'll be buying a case. Bring it! Drink: 2013-2017. 695874 13.50% XD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 91/100. March 30, 2013 Best Value Red Wine.
