Henricsson Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Nuanced and compelling Okanagan 🇨🇦Pinot Noir. Harsh at cellar temp, rallied when warmed up, brambly blackberry nose with some cotton candy. Layered red bright berry. Bottle went fast. Emerging cred for this house! House Pinot @Hawksworth, great list! — 8 years ago

#bcwine #okanagan #nomnom 2012 Terravista 'Fandango' Albariño/Verdejo, Okanagan, BC. A stunning example of Spanish varieties outside of #spain. Bright with notes of pear, banana, peach and lemongrass. Racy acid on the finish. One of my favourite wines on this trek. #wine #sommelier #canada — 10 years ago

Upper Bench Estate Winery

Okanagan Valley Zweigelt 2014

Not a common grape especially from here in BC, Canada...An Austrian variety grape that yields a rich full.body taste...balanced acidity and tannins aromas od spiciness and dark fruit berries...accents of vanilla and paired beautifully as recommended with Brie cheese that I purchased from the .shop...yes a winery and creamery at the same location. What a better way to showcase and taste both facets of UPPER BENCH. The wine paired beautifully with butterflied stuffed chicken beast with Upper bench brie and herbs. ...wild rice on the side and grilled asparagus.!!!!...Need more!!!!😄 A young wine that I am sure would prove to be even better with a prolonged stint in the wine cellar. — 8 years ago

Kettle Valley

Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc 2011

The 2011 vintage reminds me of the "lemon bar" frozen custard you can get at the American Cheesesteak Company here in Vancouver. Fabulous and refreshing! Each of the vintages of this wine have a slightly different story to tell mostly related to their level of "butterscotchiness". The 2011 really is more about the lemon. Yummy! — 8 years ago
