Trek Wine
Terravista Vineyards
Fandango Naramata Bench White Blend 2012
#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 — 12 years ago
Herman Story
Nuts & Bolts California Syrah 2011
After our wonderful wine trek through the Central Coast, I opened the '11 Herman Story Syrah 'Nuts & Bolts' with dinner tonight. A big spicy Syrah with a hot spicy bowl of chili. A huge blast of tarry licorice, clove and blackberry assaulted the nostrils. Brambly ripe fruit and spice box flavors saturated the tongue. Not sure if the heat on the finish was from the chili or the wine. — 11 years ago
Domaine de Juchepie
Les Quarts de Juchepie Coteaux du Layon-Faye Chenin Blanc
Juchepie, my beloved, why must I trek all the way to Paris to find you? — 12 years ago
Wild Boar Cellars
Malbec
A full bodied malbec that builds to a great finish with raspberry notes along the way. Not too tannic. Great wine and worth the trek to Leesburg if you're in DC. — 10 years ago
Yangarra Estate
McLaren Vale Shiraz 2011
My trek through Shiraz continues after a delightful Penfolds tasting. This is delightful and promises just what they advertise, finesse and rich texture. — 10 years ago

Brooks
Very fruity, delicious. Blackberry notes. Check this winery out next time you're in wine country. You won't be disappointed. And ask to meet Handy Andy. He's the winemaker. 😎 — 10 years ago
