Flat Rock Riddled Sparkling 2009, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Clean, crisp Ontario sparkling wine with a refreshing finish. Notes of green apple and stone fruit. The beer-bottle crown cap allows the bubbly to continue to develop flavours and bubbles (just as they do in Champagne before finally sealing it with the mushroom-shaped large cork). Pair with fried chicken. Drink: 2013-2017. 383315 12.50% D 750 mL  $29.95 Score: 90/100. November 26, 2016 Top Rated Sparkling Wine. Terrific Turkey Wine Full Review
The Hilt The Vanguard Pinot Noir 2011, Santa Rita Hills, California, United States: Rich cherry-berry intensity on the nose and palate of this along full-bodied Californian Pinot Noir. Supple like liquid silk. Drink: 2013-2019. 407841 14.10% XD 750 mL  $63.95 Score: 93/100. March 21, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine. Gorgeous Gift Wine Full Review
