Blasted Church “Big Bang Theory” 2011 $18.99
Review by David
A Merlot-dominant blend that is lighter in style with soft tannins and a smooth finish. This makes it a versatile wine that would suit just about any holiday occasion, from a traditional turkey dinner to a festive gathering. Look for currants and a hint of spice from the Syrah.

A fortified Port style wine that would be perfect to enjoy fireside after a day of skiing. Inviting aromas and flavours of stewed plums, mocha and dark chocolate will warm you from the inside out. Rich and full bodied, but with a velvety smooth palate.

Elegant and refined aromas of raspberry and smoky cherry pair nicely with the velvety soft palate full of cherry, plum and clove flavours. The finish is pleasant and lingers just long enough. This is the perfect wine to pair alongside your holiday feast.

Fresh Granny Smith apple nose complimented by tropical fruits, toasty almonds and nutmeg on the palate. This is a great wine to accompany an evening of holiday festivities. Try it with Poplar Grove’s Naramata Bench Blue cheese, Chicken Cordon Bleu or stuffed pork tenderloin.
