Made of mostly Pinot Noir, this is a champagne for the dinner table. A mineral core is framed with pretty floral and strawberry notes.

“A blend of 48% Chardonnay, 43% Pinot Noir, 6% Pinot Gris and 3% Pinot Meunier. The Cuvée M appeals to sparkling wine aficionados with a bit of a sweet tooth. It is a soft, elegant wine that showcases powerful ripe fruit flavors of Napa Valley. Cuvée M displays a graceful stream of fine bubbles, a lovely peach-rose hue, and fresh white and yellow stone fruit aromas complemented by notes of wild strawberry, fresh baked bread, vanilla and honey. Layers of ripe peach with subtle hints of mandarin orange combine with crisp citrus tones, leading to a long, satisfying finish.” -Reviewed by Jon Ellison, Marquis Wine Cellars   Wine: Sparkling white blend Producer: Mumm Vintage: N/V Country: USA Region: Napa Valley Price: $37.00 (inc tax) … (Click for more)

I’ve nicknamed this wine “The Pig Wine” due to the large porcine animal on the label. Bright, intense red in colour, this wine jumps out of the glass with aromas of ripe red and black fruits. The Alicante Bouschet provide structure and backbone and gives a slight floral element to the wine. This is a great Tuesday sipper but I suspect it will hold up in the cellar for half a decade. -Reviewed by Jon Ellision, Marquis Wine Cellars   Wine: Red blend Producer: Herdade de Peso Vintage: 2014 Country: Portugal Region: Alentejo Price: $26.00 (inc tax) Buy here!

Gagliole’s 2012 Chianti Classico is striking. Beautifully smooth aromas of pure raspberry and blackberry fruit. Texture reigns supreme in a super-expressive Chianti that hits all the right notes. Sweet flora nuances meld into red cherry, mint, spice and rose petal. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity, fine tannins and very delicious. Enjoy with fresh pasta and meats. -Reviewed by Kevin McKinnon, Marquis Wine Cellars   Wine: Red blend Producer: Gagliole Vintage: 2012 Country: Italy Region: Chianti Price: $34.99 (inc tax) Buy here!

100% Verdejo. Green-tinged yellow. Clean aromas of ripe kiwi and fresh quince carry with intensity over the palate. A hint of lemon pith adds refreshing cut and bitterness, with a subtle floral nuance emerging on the back half. I love this style of wine! Try with shellfish, trout and South-East Asian dishes. -Reviewed by Kevin McKinnon, Marquis Wine Cellars   Wine: Verdejo Producer: Vina Gormaz Vintage: 2014 Country: Spain Region: Ribera del Duero Price: $18.00 (inc tax) Buy here!

Tempranillo often causes winemakers some trouble as it is highly susceptible to many diseases. Despite this, plenty winemakers continue to persevere with this varietal, as it is perfect for producing delicious complex single variety and blended wines, packed full of classic Spanish flavours. Grown in the elevated vineyards of Ribera del Duero, Gomaz’s 2013 Joven is bright and its youthful side is on display in this wine, tempered only by dark fruits and the sweet vanilla notes of American oak barrels. This is a gentler version of a Ribera del Duero red. Gormaz 2013 Joven will match beautifully with rosemary roast chicken or pork roast. Drink in the next few years. -Reviewed by Kevin McKinnon, Marquis Wine Cellars   Wine: … (Click for more)
