Despite the lack of summer we seem to be having I
refuse to give in to the glum grey and choose to
embrace the
crisp and aromatic wines anyway. I have a
delicious assortment of summer sippers to share
(with many more to come) over the next weeks - so
make sure to check them out. I just spent a week
traveling through the stunning wine regions of
Germany with a small but mighty fine group of
Canadian journalists and sommliers so there will be
much more to come featuring the adventures
of "Rhine Diva" in July. And,
as promised Drinking Italy - part 2 - the
south is now available for your drooling
pleasure. Follow the winescores.ca
link below and read about wines from Sicily, Sardinia,
Campania and Puglia. I'm back to Italy next week
so I
will cover Drinking Italy part 3 -
central this summer.
And finally, on
The Tasting Room this week Terry and I talk
new BC releases...
Well don't just sit
there, start sipping...

Blasted Church 'Hatfield's Fuse', Okanagan BC, 2007
This always popular white blend features an aromatic
melange of: Chardonnay, Optima,
Ehrenfelser,Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc
and Riesling. The aromas are an enigmatic
array of exotic citrus, honey, minerals and spiced
orchard fruits. On the palate the flavours echo the
aromas showing honey blossoms, orange citrus,
peaches and spice with grapefruit zest. Mouth-
watering acidity bright fruit and a lively lingering finish
make this a wine to pair with fish, spiced dishes or
simply sipping on the patio.
