Today just seemed to be the right day to do it.

On my way home I stopped by the Roundhouse LCBO and picked up two bottles of Cabernet Franc. The two I picked up were Mastronardi Cabernet Franc 2006 and Erie Shore Cabernet Franc 2006. Both are the same vintage, both are VQA wines from Lake Erie North Shore region, both are for sale at the LCBO for about the same price.

One final thing before I began my taste comparison. Calabria is a great little pizza restaurant in Cottam and they have a pepperoni and cheese special on Wednesday. Both of these wines taste great with pizza so I ordered one for my tasting evening.

Back and forth between the two wines it was hard to say that one was better than the other. In the end I decided that they are both very similar in taste. Both have a nice green bell pepper taste up front and both paired perfectly with the pizza.

Good wine and good food. What a great evening.

Gary
