From Virgin Wines. This was great the first night but not as great as the Chilean Merlot. It's a bit more tangy and less smooth but the second night it's better, especially with chilli con lasagne! — 7 years ago

2021 vintage.
94 % Pinot Gris, 4 % Chardonnay and 2 % Muscat.
This was the year of the heat dome in British Columbia. Plus 40 degrees Centigrade in the Okanagan Valley for a week. Not fun.
This wine is pale straw yellow in colour with lovely flavours of white peach, melon and citrus rind.
Light bodied with medium acidity.
We had Albacore Tuna Sashimi, grilled Ling Cod and BBQ Sockeye Salmon bellies (all local and freshly caught) with this wine.

2022 vintage.
Pale, straw yellow colour.
Honeydew melon, citrus and wild flowers on the nose.
Crisp pear, lemon verbena, white peach and bitter almond flavours.
Crisp acidity but with mineral finish.
The majority is fermented in stainless steel but 1/3 is fermented and rested in neutral oak cask…adding depth and texture..
Grilled local Albacore Tuna tataki was wonderful with this wine. — a year ago
2020 vintage from Cantina Produttori Terlano in south Tirol in Alto Adige.
This is a coop founded 1893 with 143 growers and 165 hectares in the Dolomites Mountains in the foothills of the Alps.
Nose of pears, Macintosh apples, almonds and wild herbs.
Elegant flavours of ripe melon, peach, apples with minerality and balanced acidity.
In the foreground of the picture is Albacore tuna caught by my friend Fraser 200 km north off the coast of Vancouver Island in September..
That Albacore tuna was smoked by my friend Masa in North Vancouver.
This Pinot Grigio is fantastic with the smoked Albacore tuna.
