Château des Charmes
St. David's Bench Vineyard Gamay Noir 'Droit'
St. David's Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada
Nice, smooth, easy drinking wine to have with dinner. Medium bodied, fruity, but not sweet, which is great with a take out rotisserie chicken from Longos. Definitely, a back pocket wine for an impromptu dinner.

Attempt #2, we grabbed the Château des Charmes Gamay Noir Droit to pair with a homemade grilled cheese on focaccia with Iberian Salami and Chorizo. The Gamay has some bottle age but is still quite good! The color is a brick red, the nose has blackberry. There is good acidity to balance the fruit. A very drinkable favorite from this lovely Niagara winery!
