Herder 2006 Pinot Gris, BC
Pinot Gris is one of my favourite grapes, so I was happy to take this one home when the staff at Liberty told me about it. Herder make wine from grapes they purchase from other growers, and these came from the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. 340 cases were produced. It's un-oaked, and has nice acidity. I got white pineapple, and some cooked apple and pear. I would write about this in more detail, but my friend finished off the rest of the bottle while I was in the other room getting ready to go out on the town. That tells me two things: 1) it must have been good, and 2) I need to get dressed faster. $24 at Liberty www.libertywinemerchants.com . Not available at BC liquor stores
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!)
