Midweek Tasting
Gray Monk~!!
"...green apples and squeeze of fresh lime..."
"
Join
us beginning Tuesday as we sample the 2006 Gray Monk Riesling
($16.99). This wine is lively and fresh on the palate, with flavours
of green apples and squeeze of fresh lime. The clean, tangy finish is
persistent and the wine is very food friendly.
See You Here!"

Wine Quiz:
True or False?
During Prohibition, hard alcohol was prohibited but wine was freely permitted.
Answer:
False!
- During Prohibition (from 1920-1933), all alcohol, including wine, was prohibited. The exceptions were wine for medicinal or religious consumption, or for the personal use of families who made their own. Families were allowed to make a hefty amount - up to 200 gallons a year!

Weekend Tasting!!
Sandhill!!
"...87% Petite Verdot, 5% Malbec and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon..."
"Join
us this weekend as we sample the wines of Sandhill Estate winery.Sandhill works with
grapes from four distinct Okanagan vineyards, and seeks to capture
the individual qualities of each site.
We will begin with the 2008
Pinot Gris ($18.99) from
the King Family Vineyard. The King Family Vineyard is located in a
cooler area of the Okanagan close to Naramata. The resulting wine is
fresh and edgy with a certain liveliness. Aromas and flavours suggest
apple, pear, pineapple and citrus.
The 2007 Sandhill Estate Vineyard
Pinot Blanc ($16.99) is next. This wine is a lemon yellow colour with
an aromatic nose of pineapple, melon and spicy oak leading to similar
flavours accented by mineral notes on the finish. This wine won
Double Gold at the All Canadian Wine Championships.
The 2007 Sandhill
Estate Vineyard Merlot ($19.99) is grown up against the cliffs to
reflect the intense heat back to the vines. The resulting full-bodied
wine has aromas and flavours of plum, blueberry, blackberry and spice
with round but firm tannins.
A final treat is the 2006 Small Lots
Phantom Creek Vineyard Petite Verdot ($29.99). This actually contains
87% Petite Verdot, 5% Malbec and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. This
medium-bodied wine shows flavours of Bing cherry, cedar, blackberry
and a touch of smoke on the finish. Sandhill was recently named Wine
Access Magazine Winery of the Year!
See You Here!"
