Is it just me?
Where did summer go? Time flies when you're having fun I suppose, and we certainly do at GOW. We've tasted a few hundred wines this summer, mostly sun-friendly whites, rosés and fizz (we posted 17 sauvignon blanc reviews today). Anthony wrote about new values in summer drinking in The Pique, and suggested wines to match the late summer sun in The Vancouver Sun. A sure sign fall and harvest is on its way? The newly released red wines are starting to land on the doorstep in greater frequency, and vintage has begun in many wine regions, including the Okanagan Valley. I'm en route to Germany this week to dig deeper into lively and pure organic wines, as well as Sekt, before we reconvene back to Vancouver just after Labour Day for Top Drop. Until then, make the most of these last rays, and days, of August.
