Here's a wine recommended by Beppi Crosariol in last weekend's Globe and Mail. (Article here.) Château de Fontenelles Cuvée Notre Dame 2006. It's about $17 bucks at the LCBO.
I made a point of trying it this week, since I've been on such a French wine kick. This was a revelation, being from the south of France, a real contrast to the Bordeaux I've been drinking so much of lately.
You could really taste the easy life in this one, but still a nice grippy structure backing it all up. Sweet.
The real reason I picked this up was Beppi's reference to it being a good match with stews or braised meats. We were planning pulled pork for dinner, and leftover italian pot roast for lunch. The wine was a fantastic match for both. Thanks Beppi!
