Red Wine

Borsao Berola 2019, Campo De Borja D.O., Spain: From Campo De Borja wine region, Borsao Berola 2019 is a great value Grenache and Syrah red wine blend at $19. Dry, full-bodied, fruity and concentrated with blackberry, dark fruits, toasty oak and pepper spice flavours with a kiss of mocha on the finish, grapes were sourced from high-altitude vineyards up to 700 metres above sea level. The finished wine spent 14 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. Berola is the original name for the 12th century monastery of Veruela when the land was first granted to Cistercian monks to tend and plant as vineyards. Established in 1958, Bodegas Borsao now includes three coops with some 620 winegrowers who cultivate over 2,430 hectares of vines. Food pairings: lamb shanks in red wine and roasted garlic, grilled lamb lollipops, stuffed lamb tenderloin.

White Wine

Konzelmann Barrel Aged Reserve Series Chardonnay 2022, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Konzelmann’s Reserve Chardonnay balances ripe peach and nectarine with a flinty, wet-stone edge on the nose. Its medium-weight palate glides on a creamy mid-palate, punctuated by fresh lemon-verbena brightness. Silken oak integration and a hint of basil-leaf herb add nuance. The finish is both smooth and invigorating. Chardonnay food pairings: seafood risotto with saffron, vegetarian pizza, fettucine Alfredo. Drink: 2025 - 2026 46054 13.5% D 750 mL $24.95 Score: 90/100. July 2025. Top Rated White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
