Weekend Tasting!!
Fort Berens~!!
"...pineapple, apple
and lime..."
"Join us this Saturday
from 2-5 pm as we welcome Heleen Pannekoek, proprietor of
Fort Berens Estate Winery! One
hundred and fifty years ago the Hudson's Bay Company began construction of Fort
Berens on a sage-brush covered bench on the east side of the Fraser River, at
Lillooet.This trading fort was to
serve the thousands of prospectors who flocked to the Lillooet region in search
of gold. The fort was never completed and the fertile river bench was used
instead for the growing of melons, tomatoes and alfalfa. That historic site is
now home to Fort Berens Estate Winery, Lillooet's first winery and vineyard.
We
will begin with the 2007 Riesling ($18.00). This quite dry Riesling is a crisp,
fresh, fruit-forward wine with good acidity and flavours of pineapple, apple
and lime.
Next is the 2004 Select Late Harvest Pinot Blanc ($25.00). This
naturally lightly sweet wine is a great appetizer, and it is also an excellent
match with a cheese platter, a light fruit pie or spicy foods. The flavours
suggest baked apple and spice.
We will conclude with the 2007 Meritage
($28.00). This is a blend of 80% merlot, 15% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet
franc grapes. The wine was aged for 22 months in French and American oak
barrels and recently won a Silver medal at the All Canadian
Wine Championships. This should be a fun and interesting tasting!
See You Here!"
