Just trying some wines from Cerelia in the Similkameen Valley, and which are available at Firefly in Maple Ridge. Check them out at http://www.cerelia.ca/index.htm.
Pinot Gris
Fresh, tart green apple notes, lemon and some minerality.
Chardonnay
The oak can't mask the bright fruit, and there's generous acidity that makes this very food-friendly.
Cab Franc. Well, hello there green pepper and herbs. Pair with Italian sausage with fennel or lamb sausage from your local butcher (not your local chain grocery store). Delicious, but begs for food. Our favourite of the three, by far.
