Cono Sur
Pinot Noir, 2007
$10.45 at Ontario’s LCBO
This Chilean red was brought to my attention by my wife (yes, I have 2 wives and 1 husband to be – it’s a looooooooooong story). Anywho… I just thought I MUST share this great find. Originally bought completely due to the cute bike on the front (the wife is an avid tri-athlete and Iron Man fiend … yes … one of ‘those’), it proved to be much more than just a gimmicky label. It held up very well to being enjoyed straight out of the bottle, with no breathing time or decanting time whatsoever. It’s slightly fruitish, with a hint of acidity, and has a wonderful aftertaste. I am by no means a sommelier, but man, this one is certainly a wine to keep on hand and in the main rotation. All this, and for under $11. Wow – beat that Chateau Lafite 1787!!!

And oh yes, this pairs deliciously well with a gorgeous Pinot Noir!!! [...]
