The second course was Prosciutto and Mozzarella "Sandwiches". These were interesting as the ‘bread’ (top and bottom) of the "Sandwiches" was actually grilled Eggplant. They also had a roasted red pepper puree in the center with the Prosciutto and Mozzarella. Mick paired these with a 2006 Raphael Dubois Nuits St. George Pinot Noir from Burgundy.
The nose on this had a strawberry and cherry aroma that was more artificial like Starbursts Candies with some mushroom and smoke lurking in the background. There was lots of fruit to be found when drinking this wine with Cranberry, Strawberry and Cherry flavours to it. The wine was very easy drinking with nice acidity and soft tannin and a good finish. The balance to the wine was slightly off as it was more acidic than tannic. It was a good pairing with the food.
Here is the group rating for the wine -Mick – 88, Mark - 88, Kathy – 87, Amy – 87, Overall – 87.5.
This was another wine I couldn’t find a LCBO listing for but once again Mick knew the price was $36. I liked this wine but honestly feel that at $36 it was a touch on the pricey side and not something I’ll be jumping to get another bottle of at that price point.
