Changing Locations...I think

I've been posting updates HERE. I find it easier to use my Tumblr app.

New Favs!

RED:
Shiraz Viognier has become a go-to for me lately. Australia seems to have it down to an art.

Discovered this while lunching at Jules. 
 Definitely my new favourite Pinot Gris. Perhaps for Christmas Day afternoon?
Garry Oaks  $20/btl

Road 13 Cab Sav

This was opened to celebrate a friend's birthday. Cab Savs are always a safe bet and you can buy great ones for much cheaper, but we love supporting BC wineries and we have yet to have a bad wine from Road 13.
$26/bottle

More Gray Monk Goodness

My dear friend Julie introduced me to Gray Monk Pinot Gris a couple of summers ago and now I've discovered another Gray Monk white. I'm loving their Pinot Auxerrois. This was brought over as a gift awhile back and I finally had a chance to try it. So refreshing!
$17/bottle

Fuzion

To celebrate Krissy's departure to Buenos Aires...a little Argentine goodness. Actually, it was Jenni who introduced me to this wine. A fantastic find and, at $9/bottle, you can't go wrong picking a couple up "just to have".

Cedar Creek does it again

**please excuse the empty bottle of Tapestry in the background. No judging!**

I am normally not a fan of Gewurztraminer, but Cedar Creek's is divine. I would buy it again and again. In fact, my bro will be getting some of this under the Christmas tree. (a HUGE Gewurztraminer fan)

Osoyoos Larose

For a 60th Birthday, you have to step-up the wine selection.
I chose this Osoyoos Larose 2006 Le Grand Vin (hint: 2006 was a VERY hot year in the Okanagan so there were lots of good wines produced).
This is a "staple" in that you're safe giving it to a red-wine drinker - they'll love it!
$45/bottle
