Crios Dominio Del Plata S.A. Torrontés 2012, Argentina, Argentina: A profusion of white flowers and happiness on the nose. Just the right amount of acidity for almost all dishes, except maybe steak. Lively and pretty on the palate with another field of white flowers. This also works nicely as an aperitif on a sunny patio as the sun warms your shoulders. Have another sip. Life is beautiful. Drink: 2012-2016. 1834 13.50% D 750 mL $13.95 Score: 89/100. June 8, 2013

Concha y Toro Trio Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2012, Casablanca, Rapel, Limarí Valleys, Chile: Classic Chilean Sauvignon Blanc with refreshing herbal and grassy aromas. Terrific mouth-watering acidity for food, from shellfish to vegetarian dishes. Clean and crisp. The Trio in this wine's name is for the three valleys where the grapes for this sauvignon blanc are grown: north in Casablanca and Limarí, and central in the Rapel Valley. Racy and vibrant: drink it while watching action-thriller movies. Drink: 2012-2014. 649129 13.40% XD 750 mL $14.95 Score: 89/100. June 8, 2013

Piemonte Cantina San Pancrazio Brachetto 2008, D.O.C., Piedmont, Italy: Vintages Wine Panel: This exotic sparkling red from Piedmont couples well with strawberry tart or dark chocolate. My note: What a delightful surprise! Lovely notes of fleshy ripe strawberries and raspberries with a light effervescence. Slightly sweet but perfectly balanced with the bubbles and acidity. Perfect for Valentine’s Day and other romantic interludes. 159566 6% M 750 mL $16.95 Score: 90/100. February 6, 2010

J. Lohr October Night Chardonnay 2010, Arroyo Seco, Monterey County, California, United States: The grapes were picked in late October to achieve more concentration of flavour. Lovely aromas of melon, butterscotch, toasted almond and green apple. The grape clone they se in this wine is called the musqué clone in Ontario. Highly recommended. Pair with corn dishes, roast chicken and lobster in melted butter. Drink: 2013-2017. 225375 14.90% XD 750 mL $26.95 Score: 92/100. January 19, 2013
