Colio Estates Baco Noir, 2008, Niagara

A late night post for a late night wine. This red is precisely the wine to open after the good stuff is done. Maybe even before, but don't tell anyone it costs $7.35 on sale at the Metro wine store on March road.

The nose is sweet, a little green peppery. The mouth-feel is very good, not astringent but not sweet and cloying. Finish is not very deep but can sustain a fella between sips. All in all, for under 8 bucks this, is a pretty decent wine. A sort of a good after the holidays, first day back to work, put all the kids to bed, fold the laundry and shovel the snow then settle in to work part of the night kind of a wine.

Pretty much what I would call fuel for the sorry soul.
