I had a great experience at Liberty Wine Merchants (http://www.libertywinemerchants.com/) on Robson Street on my way home yesterday. I tried two wines that I noticed they were sampling in store:
Venturi Schulze Brut Naturel $32
- Tart, fruity, refreshing, and not sweet at all. It comes from the Cowichan Valley, where Venturi also makes balsamic vinegar. Staff tell me that the winery owner is a great chef. http://www.venturischulze.com/ Not available in provincial liquor stores.
Tempo Madiran 2003, Château Peyros, France (50% Tannat, 50% Cab Franc)
- Cherries, a bit spicy, would work with big food. It might be a little much for this, but I’d love to have it with a garlicky tomato sauce. $18 at BC Liquor Stores, $20 at Liberty. A great value at $18. Click for availability at your neighbourhood store: http://www.bcliquorstores.com/en/products/396598?region=5
