Wine Reviews

Some review on wines that I've drank before...
PELEE ISLAND MERLOT 2008
  • 750 mL bottle
  • Red Wine
  • Made in: Ontario, Canada
  • 12.2% Alcohol/Vol.
  • Sugar Content : 1 (Dry)
  • Body: light-bodied
  • Price: $ 9.95
  • Its dark ruby appearance, distinctive black current and cherry flavours are complemented by a smooth lingering finish.
  • Serving suggestions: barbecues and most pasta dishes
This wine is ok. Nothing exciting.
I prefer medium to full bodied wine.


PELEE ISLAND MONARCH 2008
  • 750 mL bottle
  • Red Wine
  • 12.5% Alcohol/Vol.
  • Sugar Content : 1 (Dry)
  • Body: medium bodied
  • Made in: Ontario, Canada
  • Price: $ 9.95
  • Pelee Island Monarch Red is a fun and lively red wine with ripe and jammy fruits flavours. A welcoming aroma of cherry and violets give away to a balanced finish with robust tannins.
  • Serving suggestions: grilled red meats and full flavoured cheeses.
Monarch consists of 3 wines: Zweigelt 33%, Baco Noir 34%, Marchel Foch 33%

This wine is good. It's definitely better than the Merlot.
Based on the price, it's not something that I would be very excited about.
Don't get me wrong... It's a good wine...
but I can find similar quality wine at a cheaper price...



CESARI MERLOT 2008
  • 750 mL bottle
  • Red Wine
  • 12.0% Alcohol/Vol.
  • Sugar Content : 1 (Dry)
  • Body: light to medium bodied
  • Made in: Venezie, Italy
  • Price: $ 7.45
  • This red wine comes from grapes selected in and around the Veneto Region. It has a good bouquet and a full bodied flavour making this wine a great accompaniment to many dishes, specially meat and pasta.
This is a good merlot for the price.
I used to like Merlot a lot, but I recently found Merlot to have no character.
May be my taste has changed over time... So, this wine is not really an exciting wine for me, but the price is good.
