Megalomaniac Wines Almost Grounded Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Niagara, Ontario VQA, Canada
Mocha and dark chocolate on the nose and palate of this Niagara red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. "Almost grounded" is a play on words (like the winery's other labels) and refers to the ground in which the cabernet grapes grow as well as remaining grounded and sensible about life and wine. Pair with hamburgers.

Mcwilliam's Wines Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon 2015
Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia
The Semillon grapes for this spectacular white wine are sourced from the Mount Pleasant Elizabeth vineyard. There's nothing like Australian Semillon grape-based wines: you must try this one if you haven't sampled their delights previously. Terrific balancing acidity for a wide range of dishes and a long finish to make you return to this bottle again and again. Pair with pork chops.
