Don’t think Bubble Gum

Strangely this reminds me warm days on the deck waiting for Mr. Bee to show up to see what’s for dinner.


Just like the summers, it’s dry, fresh, and balanced.   Lovely long finish.  Proof there are good values under $10 in wine.


Have it on it’s own, or serve with any of the usual bad boys: smoked meats, soft cheeses, seafood.


The South of Spain produces a lot of the native Bobal grape.  Gently pressed, decanted, then transferred to ferment in steel.

Saintly? I don’t think so

Not us! (Well me in particular).


This is a very nice, crisp, and lively Rose.  It has a very nice lingering after finish.


We paired it with baked prawns and scallops, and of course, our usual couscous.  An orange salada round out the main course.


Remember this one for the summer, when you want to just sit out on the deck or patio and relax.

There is an extra glass cause it’s a 1 L bottle.


East of Valpairso, in the Bio-Bio valley, is where they make this tasty sipper.


Full of red fruits and a slight citrus. Mild tannins and moderate acidity.


Someone might be tempted to put this in a water bottle on a winter hike.

Honest!  There were only 3 guests, and they were from the same bubble!

And they did wear masks

It’s just that they like their wine!

The Victoria Symphony has a great reputation for its concerts in the Inner Harbour.  Symphony Vineyards will build a good reputation with the white blend called Splash.
10% alcohol. Blend of Pinot Gris, Gewurtztraminer with a ’splash’ of Ortega and Siegrebbe thrown in.


The Road 13 has worked well for quite a few years and the 2019 edition carries on the tradition of a nice fruity Rose that goes with anything.


Homemade potato salad, pickled beets, Olive Bread, and BBQ’d Chicken made up the accompanying lunch.


Of course there were Nanaimo Bars and butter tarts! (and home made peanut butter cookies) Happy Canuck Day!
