With something like 35 wineries pouring fabulous Pinot Noirs the day couldn’t have possibly been any better. I tasted many, but not all, wines on offer and snacked on some delicious bites along the way. The setting was ideal and the slightly overcast day turned out to be perfect for strolling at our leisure tasting wines.
Even if you limit it to a quick friendly, ‘Hello,’ and listen to the odd recommendation from a colleague, it is virtually impossible to hit all the tables you intend to, no matter how short your short list is. So, my sincere apologies to all the wonderful producers I didn’t get to.
The tasting started with a welcoming glass of Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards 2015 Blanc de Noir which was light and tasty with yeasty and citrus notes. Light and Dry.
As April comes to a close we want to be sure you know there are a lot of great wine events to looks forward to this spring and into summer! June 8 Chef Meets BC Grape – Taste of the Okanagan, August 18 BC Pinot Noir Celebration, and August 19 Garagiste North The Small Producers Wine Festival.
