Perfect for your book club gathering, especially if you’re ordering some Asian take-out.” Natalie MacLean, January 2010 Rated 88 “Here’s a gewürztraminer that smells and tastes like gewürztraminer, with the typical full body, soft and rich texture, unctuous glycerol and above average length. Very fine, reliable and classic Alsatian styling. Value Rating: **1/2 “ Wine Align, January 2010 2007 Penmara Reserve Shiraz +912782 $19.95 Rated 91 “VC: Penmara (Pen derives from the Greek word for five; Mara is Aborigine for five fingers or hand) came into being when five family-owned vineyards joined forces in order to gain greater control over their own production, winemaking and distribution. They now need a second ‘hand’ as a sixth family has joined the group. This wine has been a popular choice since we introduced it in 2004. It is a forceful, flavourful, but impeccably balanced berry-filled wine that is a fine choice. My note: If you like excess, you’ll love this full-bodied wonder. Laced with a dark fruit core of blackberries and plums. Finishes with some mocha and espresso. Pair with: spareribs, rich meat pasta sauces.” Natalie MacLean, January 2010 2007 Cesari Due Torri Valpolicella Ripasso  +159400  $17.95 Rated 88 “Sweet, high-toned, soft raisined fruit flavour, very typical ripasso styling, with soft, succulent tannins. There’s lots of commercial appeal here, ready to drink or hold short term. Value Rating ** “ Wine Align, January 2010   Please visit www.lcbo.com for product availability and store location details.
