Just a short review this time folks. The days are just packed, enjoying every minute of retirement heaven!
I will give you what I think are the top six whites and reds to purchase.

HOT TIP!! Run to the LCBO and buy Calamus 2012 Unoaked Chardonnay, around $12.00 A gorgeous wine with loads of clean fruit and bracing acidity. It has a very refreshing grapefruit/orange/lemon taste.

Kuhlmann Platz Pinot Gris 2012 Alsace. $17.95.
Fielding Estate Riesling 2013 Niagara $18.95
Muga Barrel Fermented White 2013 Rioja $14.95.
Arnaldo Caprai Anima Umbria Grechetto 2013 $15.95. My All-Time Favourite Italian Winery!
Domaine De Millet Colombard/Ugni Blanc 2012 Southwest $ 14.95.

Reds.

Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 Sonoma $22.95. An old favourite!
Viticio Bere 2011 Tuscany $18.95. Delicious now & better with age.
Longview Devil's Elbow Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 $22.95. SUPER-RICH!!!
Thorne-Clarke Terra Barossa Shiraz 2012 $16.95. Huge, enticing vino!
Evans & Tate Metricup Road Cabernet/Merlot 2011 Margaret River $22.95. “Beautifully constructed and incredible value! Drink until 2025.”
Croix Valong Cotes Du Rhone 2011 $17.95. “ Loads of dark fruit, vanilla, earth and chocolate tones. “

Great Books To Read: The Gods Of Guilt by Michael Connelly. Another fast-paced Lincoln Lawyer novel.
James Herriot's Vet stories set in the Yorkshire Dales are fascinating, schmaltsy and loads of fun! Check out All Creatures Great And Small and Every Living Thing. All time Classics!!!
