White Wine

Colombelle Colombard Sauvignon Blanc 2024, CĂ´tes De Gascogne I.G.P., France: Colombelle blends Colombard and Sauvignon Blanc in the Cotes de Gascogne, a region in southwest France known for crisp, affordable whites. Grapefruit and green apple arrive with a herbal note underneath. With lower alcohol, it stays light and easy, with bright acidity that carries through. A touch of lime zest rounds things out. Serve it with a green salad or grilled fish. Colombard Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: lemon sole, grilled shrimp scampi, Edam cheese, salads.

Red Wine

Black Bank Hill Pinot Noir 2023, Lincoln Lakeshore, Niagara Peninsula V.Q.A., Canada: Black Bank Hill grows this Pinot Noir on the Lincoln Lakeshore bench in Niagara, where the lake's moderating effect helps the grape ripen slowly and hold onto its acidity. Red cherry and cranberry come with a light earthy note underneath. Fine tannin gives a bright rather than heavy close. A touch of dried herb rounds things out. Serve it with roast duck or grilled salmon. Pinot Noir food pairings: duck breast with cherry reduction, roast chicken, mushroom risotto. Drink: 2026 - 2030 52007 13.5% XD 750 mL $49.95 Score: 92/100. July 2026. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
