Web-exclusive pick:
2004 Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz (Australia, $19). A robust and delicious wine with aromas of dark red fruit and chocolate. A touch tannic, so decant for one to two hours first.Don't forget these picks from Chatelaine's June 2006 issue:
• 2005 House of Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand, $16) A zippy white with tangy aromas of peach, gooseberry and grapefruit. Pair it with pasta and smoked salmon.
• 2004 Bonny Doon Ca' del Solo Malvasia Bianca (California, $20) This balanced medium-bodied wine has aromas of daisy, orange blossom and stone fruit. Drink with shellfish and salads.
• 2004 Coopers Creek Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand, $18) Herbal, grassy, gooseberry and citrus notes. Drink with pork and chicken.
• 2004 Malivoire Ladybug Rosé (Ontario, $15) A lovely dry wine with appealing aromas of raspberry and strawberry. Perfect with salmon and pâté. Available from the winery (www.malivoirewineco.com).
