BenMarco Dominio Del Plata Malbec 2009, Mendoza, Argentina: Savoury and delicious with fleshy black plums and a meaty note through the middle that makes me want to chew on the wine. Full-bodied and ultra-smooth. Drink: 2011-2015. 657601 14% XD 750 mL  $17.00 Score: 92/100. November 26, 2011 Best Value Red Wine. Full Review
Terre Nere Rosso Di Montalcino Campigli Vallone Pierina 2007, D.O.C., Tuscany, Italy: Vintages Wine Panel: Medium-deep ruby with aromas of chocolate-covered raisins, smoke, saddle leather, ripe strawberry and dried herbs. Dry, round and fairly ripe with velvety mid-palate tannins giving it structure. Medium bodied with a medium-long, crisply fruity finish. My note: Satin smooth and enticing. Juicy with black cherry. Drink: 2011-2014. 249524 13.50% XD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 89/100. December 10, 2011 Best Value Red Wine. Luscious Lamb Wine Full Review
Thornbury Sauvignon Blanc 2010, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: Lovely balance and not too grassy. Chives, lime and lemon sunlight. Liquid refreshment and very food friendly. Not oak. Drink: 2011-2013. 734798 13.50% XD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 90/100. November 12, 2011 Best Value White Wine. Full Review
Konrad Sauvignon Blanc 2010, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: Vintages Wine Panel: A very generous nose offering up rich notes of lime, pea pods, grass, citrus, green pepper and seemingly limitless tropical fruit notes. The palate is lively and flavourful, with gooseberry, kiwi, lemon zest, and grassy notes, along with some sweet citrus on the finish. A very fine example of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from a solid producer, for an excellent price. My note: One of my favourite Sauvignon Blancs, and it’s incredibly well priced. Herbal and zippy but not too grassy. Terrific acidity for food. Love it! Drink: 2011-2013. 171768 13.50% XD 750 mL  $21.80 Score: 90/100. December 10, 2011 Best Value White Wine.
