DescriptionDescription  This time ‘round I have a marvelous wine for you (not that I don’t always) – Chateau des Charmes’ 1999 Cabernet-Merlot from Ontario’s Niagara-on-the-Lake region. This red wine is fantastic … smooth, easy to drink with mild tannins. It should continue to age gracefully for the next 2 – 4 years (according to the winemaker); but it is drinking beautifully right now. And as luck would have it, the LCBO has just added it to their Vintages Essentials list – so there’s plenty available for all … until I get there.
