Kim Kills It

I discovered this Sav Blanc at a Christmas luncheon. Normally, during the winter, I prefer red, but this was so crisp and refreshing and it paired wonderfully with seafood, $21/bottle

Popular Poplar

Sorry, no pic but a fantastic must-buy Chardonnay. Poplar Grove is a 10 year old winery in the Okanagan and they perfected their Chardonnay. They limit how much is made each year to ensure quality. In fact, it's so good, Taylorwood Wines limits purchases to 2 bottles per customer! Apparently, people were buying cases and they couldn't keep it in stock. Fruity, not oakey, and a wonderful bottle to give as a gift for Christmas, or to keep and drink yourself ;)

Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne

This Brut Rose is an absolutely divine champagne and is recommended for any celebration. The fabulous red fruit flavours come through and it has a great lightness on the tongue. $70/bottle

If it's good enough for Barack...

...it's good enough for me, right?

I recently was in Taylorwood Wines and bought a bottle of Quail's Gate Chenin Blanc. The sign in front of it claimed it was the white served in Ottawa when President Obama came to visit...I was instantly sold. A great white - lemon and lime flavours are prevelant and it went well with seafood. $20/bottle

B&C Wedding Wine tasting

Holy Water

This past weekend I tasted another wine from Church & State - this time their Sav Blanc. Definitely on the sweeter side but still fantastic and a great substitute for dessert! $20/bottle

Roadie

Joyce insisted I try Road 13's Merlot tonight and it was delicious. I think even those who aren't "into" reds would like this smooth wine. Not to bold, but a great, smooth taste. $24/bottle (BC only, Prairie friends)
