We invite our Premium Subscription members to use this link for immediate access to Steve Thurlow’s reviews of the Top 50 Value Wines. I will be back next month with more news on value arrivals to Essentials and the LCBO. The Top 50 changes all the time, so remember to check before shopping. Click on Suggestions & Feedback or send an email to We look forward to hearing from you. If you find that there is a new wine on the shelf, or a new vintage that we have not reviewed, let us know. It is very easy to do this. Or better yet, you can add your own review and join our growing community of user reviewers. Once you have tried a wine, you can use the ‘thumbs up/thumbs down’ to agree or disagree with our reviews. Never again should you be faced with a store full of wine with little idea of what to pick for best value. Every wine is linked to WineAlign where you can read more, discover pricing discounts, check out inventory and compile lists for shopping at your favourite store. I use a mathematical model to make the Top 50 selections from the wines in our database. To be included in the Top 50 for value a wine must be inexpensive while also having a high score, indicating high quality. Click on Wine => Top 50 Value Wines to be taken directly to the list. You can easily find all of my all Top 50 Value Wines from the WineAlign main menu. I constantly taste the wines at the LCBO to keep the Top 50 list up to date. The selection process is explained in more detail below, but I review the list every month to include newly listed wines and monitor the value of those put on sale for a limited time. At WineAlign I maintain a list of the Top 50 LCBO and VINTAGES Essentials wines selected by price and value – in other words, the best least expensive wines. There are about 1,500 wines listed at the LCBO that are always available, plus another 100 or so VINTAGES Essentials. Try with white meats, creamy cheeses and seafood. ![]() It finishes dry and a little bitter with very good length. It is very smooth on the palate with soft acidity which keeps it feeling light.

Well balanced and juicy with good to very good length. There is some complexity to the fruit with cedar, tobacco and white pepper spice in the mix. ![]() It is great value with a degree of elegance not common for such an inexpensive wine. Enjoy on its own lightly chilled with party nibbles or at the table with poultry dishes or sautéed seafood.Ī fruity aromatic red with pure blackberry and black currant fruit aromas and flavours. It is light to midweight with the fruit well-balanced by vibrant acidity. Best 2013 to 2016.Ī beautiful lightweight viognier with tropical fruit aromas with orange blossom, baked apple, ginger and nutty tones. The palate is very juicy and midweight with lots of ripe fruit flavour and just enough acid and soft tannin for balance. It has a nose of ripe blackcurrant fruit with dark chocolate, subtle oak spice plus herbal notes. There are very few red wines of this quality at this price. Caliterra Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2012
