Black Hills Nota Bene

My dad feels any occasion is a special occasion, so he did not hesitate to open this baby up when I gave it to him for Father's Day. I did not complain. Black Hills Nota Bene is a fantastic Bordeaux blend straight from the Okanagan. Worth the price. (Thanks to Marquis for providing me with a couple of bottles. I also noticed they have Laughing Stock Portfolio so I'll definitely be heading back!)

$57/bottle

Cassini

As much as I've been loving Pinot Gris this summer, lobster (see below) called for a nice Chardonnay. 

While in Osoyoos, a quick taste test of Cassini Cellars' Pinot Gris left me wanting more so I decided to try their Chard out. It suited the meal well!

$18/bottle

FYI, 5 lbs of lobster is a lot. Unless you're into lobster grill cheese and lobster omelets for days on end, I suggest a smaller size...

What goes well with pork tenderloin?

Why, a pinot noir, of course! In particular, a Road 13 Jackpot Pinot Noir...

$35/bottle

Wine of the Weekend!

And here I was thinking I'd be drinking Pinot Gris all summer!

At Hester Creek this weekend, I indulged in their Pinot Blanc. I immediately tasted hints of green apple, which won my heart!

$16.00/bottle (available in BC only)
