Gran Moraine Flavorscape Pinot Blanc ~ Wine of the Day

I love it when wine astonishes me. The surprise of tasting the dry palate found in a highly fragrant, floral Torontes from Argentina, or the refined sophistication in a steely Mosel Reisling. Willamette Valley’s Gran Moraine Winery is known for producing premium-quality, terroir-driven Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that celebrates the natural gifts of Mother Nature. But that’s not all the…

Milan Nestarec

Milan Nestarec Juicy Fruit Morava, Czech Republic 2017 Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Veltliner and Welschriesling

Juicy Fruit is testament to the transportive power of taste. For Milan, this skin contact transports him right back to the moment his mind was blown by Juicy Fruit chewing gum. Marking the end of the Velvet Revolution and the influx of foreign products, it sings of childhood and explosive fruit flavours.

A blend of Pinots, Veltliner and Welschriesling, skin contact is kept to a minimum in order to showcase the unique blend of grapes. Indigenous yeasts are used in old oak or acacia barrels where it spends 2 years on lees.

Tasting notes: apple, nectarine, lychee, peach, passion fruit, tropical

Pairings: pork, rich fish, poultry, soft cheese

Two #SparklingWines from @HesterCreek Estate Winery for #BCDay #bcwine #bcvqa @bcwine #somm #holiday

Did you know that Monday, August 7, 2023, is BC Day? On this day, which I assume will be wonderfully sunny, would be great to celebrate with a bottle(s) of BC wine. I have two sparkling wines from Hester Creek Estate Winery that are great on the patio with nibbles as I tried it out myself. I have their Hester Creek Old Vine Brut 2020 from Pinot Blanc grapes made with the Traditional Method and…

flexing for fall

Normally by this time of the year I’m settling into a nice groove of light reds. But this fall we’ve seen a wild swing of temperatures, with some days a crisp 50 and other days hitting 80 (even in the end of October). And it always seems to be raining too. So, I’ve been reaching for almost every type of wine—all styles, and from all over the world too.  Rosé • Alma Negra Brut Nature Rosé:…

Tasting @BlueMtnWinery Estate Cuvee #PinotBlanc and #PinotGris 2022 #bcwine #bcvqa @bcwine #okanagan #somm

BC white wines from the 2022 vintage are slowly being released to the public.  I received the Blue Mountain Estate Cuvée Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris 2022 wines to review, plus their Sauvignon Blanc 2022, which I will review in a separate article.  Many readers may think of sparkling wine only when they hear Blue Mountain Vineyard and Cellars as they produce top-quality sparkling wines, but they…

Lakeside Paso

A few quick notes on the Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival today… Outstanding in Spot 1: Peachy Canyon‘s Cinsault rosé and the sublime Peche Blanc white blend. Fair perfection in Provence-style rosé for the former, an unbelievable balance of textures in the latter–and the finish will blow your mind. Like I have often mused about Tablas Creek: the beauty of Ancient Peaks is NOT in the hi-profile…

jacinda ardern gets married in the vines

Now that she stepped down as Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern had time to get married to her longtime partner Clarke Gayford. They had their festivities earlier this year at Craggy Range, a gorgeous vineyard I visited when I was in NZ. They only produces wines from a single vineyard, which is sort of ironic for a wedding! New Zealand is mostly known for its hyper-pungent Sauvignon…
