Grove Mill Sauvignon Blanc New ZealandGrove Mill Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand is a refreshing white wine that has all the qualities you would expect from a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is very clean, and full of passion fruit, pineapple and citrus flavours. It’s also herbaceous, with a lovely grassy streak. This is a very food friendly wine that will go with a wide variety of foods.

Henri Bourgeois Les Baronnes Sancerre review: Henri Bourgeois Les Baronnes Sancerre is a classy Sauvignon Blanc that is lush with green apple, gooseberry, and pear aromas. From the chalky terroir of Upper Loire, this is a stony, yet zippy mouth-watering white wine.

Not everyone appreciates a California Pinot Noir. Some find it too candied and not as elusive and teasing as an old world Pinot Noir. I absolutely love the subtly sweet strawberry, cherry and plum flavours in this light red. Perfect with Salmon, versatile enough to charm lamb, duck and chicken.

Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay is a fantastic, tasty, and food friendly wine. This bargain valued wine has abundant aromas of peach, green apple, honeysuckle, and tropical fruits like pineapple and mango. Try it with Grilled Chicken, Salmon, Pork Tenderloin or Crab Cakes.

Ravenswood Old Vine Zinfadel is my go-to wine. It’s a wine I absolutely love as it’s delicious. What you’ll find with this mouth-watering wine are seductive aromas of black cherry, raspberry, blueberry, and a splinter of oak. It pairs with a wide variety of foods, and it’s a wine that is a crowd pleaser. As such, whenever I’m hosting a dinner party, or a BBQ in the backyard, I often uncork a bottle of Ravenswood Zinfandel.
