On a Mission

To find the tastiest Pinot Grigio this summer. It seems to be my white of choice this year.


Mission Hill's Pinot Grigio  is on my list. I loved the taste, the finish and the price!

"This wine begins with aromas of orange blossoms and tropical fruits. On the palate, it is fresh and fruity, with flavours of citrus and pears. The wine manages to be full on the palate at the same time as having a light elegance."

$16/bottle

Starmont Cab Sav


We had Merryvale Starmont Cab Sav at dinner in Whistler. A decent dinner wine. "...aromas of black cherry, cassis, raspberry, vanilla and cedar. The mouthfeel is dense and focused with a long finish." I don't think this is worth the price - I've had better for less money.
$39/bottle

Birthday Dinner Vino


Light, smooth taste with a bit of bite at the end.
$11.99/btl


Bouchard Aine Chardonnay
"Warm with a note of citrus fruits, then complex with amber accents of honey and toasted bread"
$11.99/btl

Both of these wines were delicious. The red was a bit light for me, but great for those who don't like a lot of spice in their wine. Also great with food. For the price, I will put both of these wines in my collection.
