Web-exclusive pick:
2002 Wakefield Promised Land Shiraz Cabernet (Australia, $15): A rich, juicy, full-bodied red that I've recommended for several vintages now. This one also has a lovely spiciness that will make it ideal for pepper steak, tomato-sauce pasta and hearty meat dishes. Drink from a bordeaux glass, since this shiraz is as robust as those deep reds.Don't forget these picks from Chatelaine's August 2006 issue:
• 2003 Sandhill Pinot Blanc Burrowing Owl Vineyard VQA (British Columbia, $16) Medium-bodied with aromas of pear, melon and peach and subtle oak that pair with white fish and chicken. Will drink beautifully from a sauvignon blanc glass.
• 2004 Caliterra Merlot (Chile, $10) Smooth, velvety texture with the aroma of plush plum. Drink it with roast pork and chicken from a bordeaux glass.
• 2002 Wyndham Estate Bin 555 Shiraz (Australia, from $16) Delicious, jammy red fruit with a cool mint aroma. Full-bodied and robust. Drink with hearty meat dishes from a bordeaux glass.
