Henry’s Baco Reserve

by Kato on September 1, 2011 in Vintages Picks, Wine Picks with No comments

HOPHenry’s Reserve Baco is for those who enjoy strangeness and peculiarity in wines. Wild flavours and sensations over plummy fruits and smoothness. This vintage is woodsy and bitter, but it also feels warmhearted. The contradictions often found in reds from Piedmont. Best on a Winter’s night with hearty food and company.

P.S. I recently had the opportunity to taste ten old vintages of Henry’s Reserve Baco and if you have a cellar I recommend you start including it. Get this 09 and follow with the wonderful 10 which will be at the winery next year. Two or three years aging is sufficient.

Olympic Watching Wines #3

HOPBacoReg06‘THE POWER OF THE UNDERDOG’

While it would be ‘cool’ to match local wines with each Olympic sport I’m not doing it because I didn’t get the contract. Nobody did. Besides it’s probably illegal to mention wine on sports programs. A TV producer once told me that I couldn’t be shown pouring or drinking the wine I was discussing on his program. Perhaps they should edit athletes doing risky somersaults or traveling at speeds in excess of 20 clicks!

As you know I’m into matching wine with mood/situation so this and future Olympic picks is based on how you’re feeling or what you’re eating.

Eating a burger while watching hockey, curling or scantily clad skaters? Several glasses of Henry’s Baco Noir will put you in a relaxed, quietly confident mood. Baco is the under dog red – very Canadian.
