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)

$18/bottle

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

Burrowing Owl Pinot Gris

One word: buttery

$20/bottle

 

Slightly Obsessed...

The Stump Jump Red.

Delicious and cheap. 

Oh, and from Australia.

$14/bottle

Moving Forward....

As the weather gets a bit crisper and we get cozy in boots and sweaters, my wine selection becomes full-bodied. A friend recommended Stag's Hollow Cab Sav. I recommend for a red meat dish or a rainy night.


Opened for Thanksgiving dinner:

 Johnny Q Shiraz Viognier
$15/bottle
**has won a lot of awards - worth it, especially for a cheap price**

Red Rooster Reserve Merlot 2007
$30/bottle
**this was fabulous after it decanted for an hour**

Sunny day means another White

My brother & sister in-law served this for a pre-dinner wine. Nine by Intrigue is a blend of Riesling, Gewürztraminer and a touch of Semillon. Sweet and delicious. $15/bottle

Fall MishMash

Little Straw Vineyards

2009 Tapestry

This vintage sold out at the winery, but I've located a nearby VQA store that has some left :)

Inniskillin Marsanne Rousanne

$20/bottle

I discovered a couple of wines from Tinhorn Creek that I'm a fan of:
