Nanaimo, Vancouver Island

Sandhill

Hidden Terrace Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2016

I am drinking this wine from British Columbia, in Tofino on Vancouver Island, looking out over the Pacific Ocean as the sun is setting. An epic moment, if ever there was one. And the wine? Very, very nice, or awesome as the locals say here. — 9 years ago

Very delicious, toasted caramel and rich porter-like flavour. Hard to place what else I'm tasting but this robust ale is unique and a seasonal treat. — 11 years ago

From Saturnalia in the Gulf Islands off Vancouver. Awesome weird combo of chipotle, okra and oysters -- or some kind of hit oepper. Bet you ain't got one ! — 12 years ago

Changing pepper varietal guess to jalapeño (hence first guess chipotle)

Burn Cottage

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012

Manages to be both a straightforward, fruit driven Pinot and something much more elusive and special at the same time. Chili, chocolate, espresso, cassis, all sorts of red and black fruits. Sourced in Vancouver for not-little money but seems to me quite worth it, definitely one of the top tier Otago wines. — 9 years ago

Rippon Vineyard

Mature Vine Lake Wanaka Pinot Noir 2008

Superb blend of typicity with regional characteristics. Taste those old vines... One of the best Central Otagos I've tasted, and there have been many. Drinking perfectly now but still plenty of life, no need to rush. Purchased in Vancouver August 2015 for ~$55. — 10 years ago
