Wine of the Week for March 7, 2011

James Oatley TicTok Sauvignon Blanc 2009 - $14.95
Style: W2

Australia: Pemberton

Here's another value wine from Vintages. Look for subtle white grapefruit and pine aromas with traces of marshmallow and sweet grass. Zingy on the palate with rich citrus/grapefruit; round and luscious with a racy acidity. Fabulously refreshing with gobs of character. Try with ocean fish or avocado. (Vintages 187039)
Currently 165 LCBO Vintages stores have 6 or more bottles (according to on-line database)

A Canadian Moment ...

Trius Sauvignon Blanc 2009 - $13.95
Style: W2

Canada: Niagara

Aromas include rich passionfruit, guava, grass and lime zest. A tangy palate, juicy with lemon and grapefruit flavours and crisp acidity. Smooth and aproachable and very atractively priced. A good choice for stuffed peppers or quiche. (LCBO 221804)
