My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Township 7 Wines

This is a follow up to the Free and Fun Tasting last week at Taylorwood, where we tried 6 of Township 7's wines.

Viognier 2006 $20- Taylorwood doesn't sell this (try the winery's shop in Langley) but they poured some for the tasting. This is the winner of the bunch. Apricot, blossoms, and well balanced. They only made 55 cases, so good luck getting some. (Sorry)

Semillon 2006 $17 - Honey and floral notes on the nose, with nice acidity.
Merlot 2004 $25 - I really enjoyed this wine. Juicy, spicy, just a little bit smoky.
Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 $26 - Rich and full bodied with lots of red cherry.


Sauvignon Blanc 2006 $17 - Crisp crisp crisp. Lots of tart citrus and refreshing acidity here. This wine isn't for everyone (ask me again on a hot summer day), but if you paired it with something tart it would seem more mellow in comparison.

Rose 2006 $16 - Lots of red cherry, and some good acidity helps the sweetness.
