Buy this one by the case! Montalto, Cabernet Sauvignon/Nero d' Avola blend from Italy is full of rich black berry flavours and balanced structure all for $12.75*! Great for upcoming BBQ season. Another Cabernet Sauvignon, Cellar Rat 2006 from Australia ($15.00*), has a different flavour profile than you would expect from a Cab. Light to medium bodied with light raspberry and cherry notes. Light tannins make this an easy drinking red that would fare well with pizza, salmon, chicken and grilled vegetables.
Full bodied reds packed with concentrated rich flavours are hard to come by for $16.50*, but Flor de Crasto 2004 from the Douro Valley in Portugal delivers. This wine is unoaked so only blackberry, black cherry and plum extracts shine through with an attractive spice finish. Try a grilled t-bone with mushrooms with this one!
Question: Are you looking for a ripe, fruity, dry wine that delivers maximum flavours for a minimum price?Answer: You have to try Barefoot Cellars, Pinot Grigio from California. For $11.95*, this is a great sipping wine, but make sure to serve it at a cool but not cold temperature for maximum enjoyment.

Barossa Valley Estate E & E Black Pepper Shiraz 2003
As one of the most revered wines produced in Australia, the E & E Black Pepper Shiraz is consistently listed in the Wine Spectators Top 100 wines of the year. Accolades not withstanding, this wine is much sought after by collectors and lovers of big, bold reds. Unfortunately it is also very limited in its availability as only one shipment is sent to B.C. per year.
Here is the review on this vintage by James Suckling of the Wine Spectator, who scored it at 94 points:
“Bright, round and juicy. A gorgeous mouthful of cherry, blackberry and floral flavours lingering on the finish, with a touch of dark espresso to add interest. The tannins are polished, and the wine has a keen sense of balance, grace and harmony. Drink now through 2015.”
