Featherstone Four Feathers 2012, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: A absolutely happy, lovely wine with fresh white floral aromas just after a spring rain. This blend is mostly riesling, but also has sauvignon blanc, gewurztraminer and a tiny bit of chardonnay. It's incredible for the price and would make the ultimate summer aperitif on the deck or at parties. Drink: 2012-2017. 341586 11% M 750 mL $15.95 Score: 89/100. March 7, 2015 Best Value White Wine.

Kacaba Vineyards Cabernet Franc 2011, V.Q.A., Niagara Escarpment, Ontario, Canada: Many people about Cabernet Sauvignon for cheddar, but I love a great Canadian Cabernet Franc. This one has a nose of savoury dried herbs and a touch of bell pepper that often accompanies Cabernet Franc, though not unpleasant at all. Full-bodied and smooth with fleshy black plums and a good finish. I'd pair this wine with Balderson Vintners' Cheddar for Red Wine, which is made with robust red wines in mind. Full disclosure: Balderson is a sponsor of the Canadian Wine Match, but I've been enjoying their cheeses for years. This wine really opens up after 1 hour of decanting.
