Wine Tasting
Friday June 19
3pm - 7pm  
featuring:

 

Lake Breeze Sauvignon Blanc 2014

GOLD MEDAL WINNER

BEST IN CLASS WINNER

An excellent showing of an Okanagan Sauvignon Blanc, this wine opens with refreshing aromas of crisp citrus and grapefruit. The palate matches the nose while balanced with crisp acidity till the end. While near perfect on its own, try it with your favorite seafood dish.            

 

Fort Berens Riesling 2014

SILVER MEDAL WINNER

A study in Lillooet's terroir, our 2014 Estate Riesling is coming into its own. Aromas of spring blossom, orange peel, and granny smith apple lead the way for a fruit bonanza. Tastes of sweet stone fruits, ambrosia apples, peaches, and pears linger long after your glass is empty. Pair with spicy dishes.

 

Poplar Grove Chardonnay 2014

GOLD MEDAL WINNER

This wine has golden yellow color with captivating aromas of toasted almond, honeycomb, and warm vanilla. This wine's intricate flavor profile develops with every sip. The palate is first greeted with electric grapefruit, ginger and passion fruit and finishing with assertive lingering crème brulee and pine nut. Light French oak barrel aging adds a hint of hazelnut to the palate. Enjoy this wine's long silky finish with rich creamy pasta dishes.

 

Backyard Syrah 2013

BRONZE MEDAL WINNER

Nice cherry and plum notes, with a bright fruity character. Pleasant mouth feel with a slightly peppery finish.

 

Church & State Coyote Bowl Merlot 2011

SILVER MEDAL WINNER

Medium dark in colour, there is an array of black cherry, red currant, sage and roasted, cured meat aromas. On the palate, wine expands to fill the mouth, coating the surfaces with soft, integrated tannins and rich, concentrated dark fruit flavours balanced with moderate acidity. An elegant, feminine wine with great generosity and class.

 

Mission Hill RSV Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

SILVER MEDAL WINNER

This is an elegant Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied with layers of black currant, red plum, cassis, mint, and sage flavours. It has rich tannins, with a touch of leather, mocha, and smoke at the lingering end. Pair with lamb, beef, pork, venison, even rabbit.

Wine Tasting
Saturday June 20
2pm - 7pm  
with Mario from 2-5pm
featuring:

 

Pinot Grigio 2014

Refreshing and oh so crisp, this Pinot Grigio has a vibrant nose of mango, pear, and Spartan apple aromas. These carry on to the palate and are joined by hints of citrus and grapefruit culminating in a beautifully balanced finish and clean acidity. For a pairing try it with light Mediterranean tapas, seafood salads or Asian fusion cuisine.

 

Sauvignon Blanc-Viognier 2013

Aromas of passion fruit and grassy floral open on the nose of this delicious white. The palate is crisp and refreshing with flavours of pear, apricots and hints of bell peppers. The finish is clean and balanced with hints of peach and grapefruit and good acidity. Pairs perfectly with seafood dishes, summer salads or grilled chicken.

 

Merlot Cabernet Franc 2013

Very fruit forward, this red blend boasts aromas of currant, cherry and strawberry jam supported by a subtle notes of black pepper spice and anise. The palate is upfront with a plethora of berry fruit flavours on a background of oak, dark coco and tobacco. The soft tannins and balanced lingering finish make this wine an excellent choice for any occasion. Try it with grilled steak, lamb or a hearty pasta dish.

 

Belviaggio 2012

A beautiful blend of 60% Cab Franc, 30% Syrah and 10% Merlot this red features rich aromas of black currant, black pepper and raspberry. The palate is bursting with flavours of tobacco, toffee and blueberries with subtle notes of anise, vanilla and cocoa. The finish is lingering and bold with silky smooth tannins. While excellent on its own, this red also pairs well with beef tenderloin, short ribs or a rack of lamb.
