Wine Tasting 1-4pm Saturday, Jun 4

Your host will be Alain Blanchon of Alain Blanchon Selections.

Michael Noellat Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2009 $20.99

Full, ripe and immediate on the nose. Rich fruit on the palate entry with zest and freshness. There is lightness here but great balance too. Easy, friendly. Sweet and fresh. Great stuff with a few years of aging. Very good value. This producer makes very attractively perfumed wines with good balance and no excess of oak.



Chateau La Clotte-Fontane Mathierou 2009 $10.99

This is a complex red wine with a deep red colour. Its nose is a delightful melange of liquorice notes, red berries, and hints of black olive. In the mouth it is powerful, and offers a great concentration with elegant tannins.



Puygueraud Rosé 2010 $10.99

Light red color, pink tinge. Lovely perfume, touch of spice and berry fruit. Very fruity and round. Berry fruit with a crisp finish. Lovely, distinctive Rosé.



La Tour de Beraud Costieres de Nimes White 2010 $9.99

Balance and freshness with subtle mineral notes. A great value summer white. Blend of Roussanne, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc.
