Jackson-Triggs Riesling Gewürztraminer 2016

Covert Farms Family Estate Rosé wine

Jackson-Triggs Riesling Gewürztraminer 2016 is the perfect evening patio wine. Light and elegant on the nose with notes of green apple, pineapple and melon. A hint of sweetness on the palate, equalized by a nice level of acidity. Apple and pear flavours showcase through the mid-palate with a touch of honey on the finish. Tasted August 2017.

Are Okanagan GSM blends safe(ish) from climate change?

With the release for @hestercreek1968’s latest wine, a GSM blend, it got me thinking - how many Okanagan Valley producers believe warm climate Southern Rhône varieties, like grenache, syrah, and mourvèdre, will shine in the face of increasing summer temperatures?

What happens when you eat an appy, main, and desse

What happens when you eat an appy, main, and dessert for every meal while visiting Southern Rhône? You end up with a lot of food pictures that deserve to be showcased.

Europeans eat different, three courses are customary. They indulge, savor, and don’t need snacks in between meals.

I’ve always been that person that travels with snacks, in case gluten free meal options are a challenge. But this trip, I didn’t need a single one.

So enjoy my reel of food 🥗- I know I did! 😋

🍷✨ When you find a 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape

🍷✨ When you find a 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape in your collection and wonder if it’s still in its prime —

🤔🍇 In this case, I was surprised to discover that I should have drunk it yesteryear. There was nearly no fruit character, and it had a bitter quality.

But really, all the Southern Rhône vintage charts say 2017 is still safely in its ‘drink’ window. So what happened here? Did I get a bum bottle?

Any vintage experts have any insight?
