Wine Notebook, Part 16 (June 7, 2007)    by the Wine Baron

A nice sunny day, not too hot.  Took my aunt to eye doctor appointment in Hamilton today. Works out fine, I've got to visit client retail stores in Hamilton anyway. Working on getting Dois Amigos into more LCBO's. It's such a fine wine for the price. At $12.15 for 1.5 Liters, it's a steal.

Wrote a couple of wine articles, and corresponded with a French chateau about their dessert wine.

Enjoyed a nice affordable French wine today: CHRISTIAN MOUEIX SAINT-EMILION 2003.  It's under $15 and exhibits all the finesse and charm of many more expensive Bordeaux wines. Its aromas of floral and cedar are followed by flavors of ripe fruit. This all-Merlot wine is medium bodied and has firm structure and just right tannins. This is the little cousin of Chateau Petrus, the famous St. Emilion wine (correction, make that "Pomerol") because Petrus is 500 meters outside the St. Emilion boundary, just inside Pomerol.  Well, that's another story for another day.
