The second episode of At Home with Mijune Pak: Wine Wednesdays featured J.P. Potters of Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar; Kristi Linneboe (formerly of Labattoir); and Bryant Mao, Wine Director Hawksworth and Nightingale restaurants.
Here are the three wines that were featured in Episode 2:
Fort Berens Rosé 2019
Winemaker’s Cut Boho Beat 2019
BOHO Beat has distinct muscat-y notes; it is a fruit cup of peaches and pears, some rose oil and honey with orange blossoms. Lively, with honeyed concentration it has a weighty character, silky texture and intense full-flavoured finish.
NATURALLY VEGAN
90+ pts. “Consummate craftsmanship…Absolutely delicious.”
Kristof Gillese
Tightrope 2019 Rosé
Our Rose is made almost entirely of Pinot Noir, but with a splash of Barbera (7%), to give it backbone and elevate the fruit, as well as adding a touch of spiciness. The grapes sourced for this wine came from the Shandro, Flaherty and Tightrope vineyards in Naramata. They were handpicked, crushed and left on skins to cold soak for 1-2 days before being pressed. After the juice had settled it was cool fermented, in stainless steel, at 14°C. It took 30 days to complete.
