The man and I went to The Office last night in St.Catharines which if you haven't been before you must. I believe Sunday to Thursday it is BYOW with no corkage fee and on Friday and Saturdays it is $12.00 Woot Woot!
The wine was great and totally unexpected. I recently purchased this from LCBO Vintages Online, $22.00/bttle and I ordered 3. Let me tell you I will be be buying some more if there is any to be had. Apparently this Domaine only produces 700bttles a year, how we got some I dont know!
It had this confectionary note to it (think strawberry nibs), something that would be common in say a Beaujolais, but not overdone with all the bubblegum and berries. It was soft on the palate with beautiful raspberry and rhubard notes. Just a hint of the barnyard earthyness. I would say medium bodied with a juicy mouth feel, it just flowed in the mouth, very well balanced.
Food - we had some great food for dinner it was kind of like tapas style, but kinda not. We shared a gnocchi with sundried tomatoes, bacon, cheese and herbs and dry rub drumsticks with a peanut infused wing sauce. For mains I had a strudel stuffed with asparagus, mozzarella, peppers and mashed potatoes (heaven for me) and Jayme had monkfish wrapped in prossucitto (ps i am a horrible writer and speller).
The food paired wonderfully with everything.
I cannot say enough about this wine...if you can grab a bottle or two! It is only online at Vintages, I promise you will be pleasantly suprised!
Also I promise you wont be disappointed with The Office check it out!
