your reference point for 

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 

New Zealand made Sauvignon Blanc a household 

name, and no other region has cultivated it as 

a specialty quite like Marlborough. Their Savvies are 

truly distinctive: intensely aromatic, big and rich, 

bursting with tropical fruit (think guava and passion 

fruit) as well as trademark asparagus and freshcut 

grass characteristics. One big reason for Savvy’s 

success in Marlborough is careful site selection. 

Dog Point Vineyard has found a cozy little nook along 

the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, 

where perfect soil, abundant sunshine and oceanmoderated 

evening temperatures provide the 

ideal conditions for full-flavoured Sauvignon Blancs. 

DOG POINT VINEYARD 

SAUVIGNON BLANC 2009 

Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand 

677450 (D) 750 mL $19.95 

TASTING NOTE: Strongly aromatic wine with 

pungent passion fruit, green capsicum and lemon 

grass flavours. The wine is dry but achieves 

good tension between alcohol sweetness and juicy 

acidity. Concentrated Sauvignon Blanc that 

captures the best features of the regional style.

Lately, South African 

wines have been 

making great strides 

in quality. This summer, 

raise a glass of the 

country’s finest at 

a braai – a traditional 

barbecue feast. With 

soccer victories playing 

out across South Africa, 

the time is right 

core! 

for a toast!

‘‘ ’’ 

South Africa [is] one of the most attractive emerging 

wine regions in the world today ... The best are fresh, 

juicy wines that combine vivid, New World-style fruit 

with racy, Old World-style structure and minerality. 

bring on the 

braai 

The braai (rhymes with try) is a 

vital part of South African social life. 

Started by the Afrikaners, braai essentially 

means “barbecue,” and refers to 

both the grill and the event itself, where 

friends and neighbours come and go 

with meat to cook and wines to share. 

Braai grills are large and there’s often 

more than one, fired with wood or coal. 

Steaks, sausages (particularly the 

local delicacy boerewors), ribs, burgers, 

chicken, shellfish and oth e r seafood 

all share space over the flames. Great 

music is playing and the conversation 

is lively. Serve fine South African wines 

(naturally!) at your own version of the 

braai. Made with state-of-the-art equipment 

and fruit from vineyards planted 

with grape varieties perfectly suited to 

the terroir, they’re just the thing for this 

casual yet refined open-air celebration. 

In South Africa, September 24th is 

both National Heritage Day and National 

Braai Day. 

––James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, April 30, 2009 

Large grills will be placed 

over this blazing fire to 

cook the evening’s feast.

you can try. However, a typical 

side dish that accompanies 

the grilled foods is the classic 

“pap and sauce” –white 

cornmeal porridge similar to 

polenta, and sauce made 

primarily of tomato and onion 

(look for classic pap and sauce

wines and flavourful, ripe reds

scene in 2005 with wines that 

attracted immediate attention. 

Not only were the wines a 

revelation, so was the winery 

itself: Tawse’s six-tier gravity-fed 

facility is designed to be as 

intervention-free as possible, 

leading to great expressiveness 

and purity of fruit in their wines. 

From their Sketches of Niagara 

line to their single-vineyard 

bottlings, Tawse consistently 

handcrafts compelling, complex, 

and delicious wines. This vibrant, 

masculine rosé is dry, refreshing 

and incredibly food-friendly – 

think jerk chicken or gourmet

This legendary libation was one of a shortlist of

score ever awarded by whisky guru Michael Jackson 

(The Malt Whisky Companion, 2004). It is matured 

entirely in Sherry barrels. While the sherry barrels 

impart rich, smoky, cinnamon-spice character to 

the malt, the distillers use relatively small pot stills 

to give this whisky a pleasant dryness. This is an 

excellent aperitif whisky to serve with wild-caught 

smoked salmon, or as the perfect accompaniment

VQA Twenty Mile Bench,

The 2007 growing season was long, warm and 

ideally dry. As a result, relatively neutral but fullbodied 

wines, such as Pinot Blanc, benefited. 

This version is filled with apple, pear and green 

plum aromas. Dry and quite fruity, enjoy this

BERINGER THIRD CENTURY 

PINOT NOIR 2007 

Central Coast 

Beringer’s Third Century line marks the beginning 

of their third century in business (they were 

established in 1876). For this elegant Pinot Noir, 

they use fruit sourced from Central Coast vineyards 

because they feel this region mirrors the cool 

climate of Burgundy. This wine exhibits aromas 

and flavours of cherry, plum, earth and oak spice. 

It is fruity, but ably balanced by fine-grained 

tannins. Cellar it for 2+ years or serve it tonight

VACQUEYRAS 2007 

AC 

TASTING NOTE: (two-thirds grenache and onethird 

syrah) Deep red. Complex, exotically 

perfumed nose offers fresh red berries, cherrycola, 

apricot and spices. Then suave and pliant 

in the mouth, with deep, sweet dark berry and 

floral character and a velvety texture. Finishes with 

fine-grained tannins and very good persistence. 

This sexy wine offers immediate drinkability.

This wine won a Gold Medal at the 2009 Mundus 

Vini competition in Germany. Catarratto is a white 

grape native to Sicily, grown widely along its 

western coast and on the island of Marsala. It is 

the second-most cultivated white wine variety in 

Italy after Trebbiano. In the past, it was only used 

in the making of Marsala, but it has found its 

place as a single-varietal table wine. Hallmark 

characteristics of Catarratto are peach and 

nectarine fruit aromas and flavours. A lovely 

aperitif, or a delicious match for shellfish and 

pan-fried freshwater fish.

Dogliani, for 100% dolcetto wines from around the 

Piedmontese village of Dogliani. This example 

shows off the dark berry character of ripe dolcetto, 

with some rustic freshly-turned earth and compost 

to add complexity. This improves with air so be sure 

to give it a vigorous swirl in your large crystal glass. 

The palate is fullish, juicy, somewhat chunky

how to shop 

for VINTAGES products: 

VINTAGES is the fine wine and premium spirits business unit 

of the LCBO. Products featured in this catalogue may be 

obtained in two ways: 

1. Shopping in person at a VINTAGES location on or after the 

Release date. Note: Supplies are limited and product 

availability will vary from store to store. Customers in the 

Toronto and Ottawa areas must shop in person. 

2. Ordering specific VINTAGES products through your local 

LCBO or VINTAGES store. This is a service we provide for 

our customers who live outside the Toronto and Ottawa 

areas only. 

• Important – customers must submit their ‘requests’ to 

their local LCBO store by 11 am the Tuesday before 

the Release date. 

•VINTAGES allocates a percentage of products in each 

release to fulfill ‘customer requests’. This does not 

guarantee availability as VINTAGES products are purchased 

in finite quantities and are sometimes extremely limited 

and/or in very high demand. 

• Store staff can order as many bottles as you require 

subject to availability. 

NEW – Transferring Products From Other Stores: 

VINTAGES customers may now ask for product including ISDs 

to be t ransferred between stores if stock is still available 

2 weeks after the release date. Please contact your local 

LCBO store to make arrangements. 

VINTAGES catalogues are available online at www.vintages.com. 

Our website also features product search, special offers, 

events, store locations and other information.

instyle 

with an Italian Classic 

Fellini, Bertolucci, Rossellini... 

whatever you and your fellow cinema 

buffs have lined up for Italian 

film night, this stylish Pinot Grigio 

will complete the mise en scène. 

Smooth, subtle and eminently versatile, 

it’s equally comfortable 

playing the cool, casual sipper, or 

co-starring with a diverse ensemble 

of foods. This audience favourite 

is sure to be declared the hit of 

the season. 

TIEFENBRUNNER PINOT GRIGIO 

2009 

DOC Südtirol-Alto Adige, Italy 

954024 (XD) 750 mL $16.95 

TASTING NOTE: Delightfully aromatic 

Pinot Grigio that shows what the wine 

can be when great care is taken in making 

it. Pear, apple, green plum, citrus and 

spring flowers are just some of the aromas 

here. Dry, ripe and round with a compelling 

acidity to give it fine freshness. 

Medium bodied with a medium-long 

finish. A great partner for crab meat salads, 

or other cold seafood or chicken dishes. 

It’s a good palate-refresher too.
