Quails' Gate Estate Winery Old Vines Foch Reserve 2013, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia BC V.Q.A., Canada: Smoky rich with mocha and dark chocolate: reminds of me those luscious coffee-styled Pinotages from South Africa. Old Vines Foch is worth exploring: it's a hybrid grape rather than vinifera, but it has a lot to offer, especially in the hands of a masterful winemaker like Quail's Gate. Pair with prime rib. Drink: 2014-2019. 14.50% D 750 mL $24.95 Score: 90/100. December 31, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine. Full Review

Reif Estate Winery Icewine Vidal 2013, Niagara River, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Serious Platonic ideal of apricot preserves in this lovely Niagara icewine from Reif. Luscious layers of peach preserves fold over each other across your mouth and then bring on a tide of pleasurable sun-dappled orchard fruit on the finish. Pair with fruit flans and cobblers. Drink: 2014-2020. 544791 10% S 200 mL $24.95 Score: 92/100. July 23, 2016 Top Rated Dessert Wine. Divine Dessert Wine Full Review
