I first tried this wine about a year ago, but it was several months later that the manager at Diva at the Met pointed out the hidden feminine images in the curvy swirls on the label, and told us the history of Summerland BC's laundromat turned brothel. The winery is one of several in BC that's been bought up by Albertan businessmen recently. They've played up its sexy past, and put a huge expansion plan in place.
This is a perfect summer sipper. It has a surprisingly peachy colour, very fragrant floral notes, and peach and lychee flavours. For $18 from the winery it's a great buy. It might be a little more in private wine shops like Kits Wine Cellar on 4th Ave, where I buy mine, and definitely worth it. When they sold out last summer, I tried their Riesling instead, and was disappointed - not the Riesling's fault, I just really missed the Gewurz. From what I've heard, BC Gewurz is expected to be in somewhat short supply this year, so if you're a summer Gewurz drinker, then buy it while you can.
