In our defence, we review wine every single day so we believe our list is as rigourous as it can be based on the thousands of Canadian wines we tasted over the last year. No one would have thought we would be making the quality wine we are today. In fact, if our nation's founders had known how good the wines were going to be, they would have passed a law to allowing wineries to freely sell their wine across Canada. Maybe in the next 150 years.
Here are ten wines that make us proud to be Canadian, tasted within the past year.
Anthony Gismondi & Treve Ring
Every week Treve Ring and Anthony Gismondi collaborate on our Top Ten list, released on Thursday morning, often with a timely theme. If you count carefully the list will more than likely exceed ten names but only because we believe if any wine is tied by a score that makes our list it should be included. We know many of you are wine savvy and can do your own sleuthing to locate our weekly picks but for those who asked: BCLS means it is sold in government retail stores; when we say private wine shops we mean it could be in any private wine shop or liquor retail store (LRS); winery direct means check with the winery online. If it’s not sold in BC we usually try and give you a suggested retail price. Prices change hourly in BC – the price we post is what we are given at publication.
