Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe latest Charme de L'île reflects the evolution Blue Grouse has been undertaking since being purchased by the Jackson Family group of wineries. This latest iteration of a truly Wine Islands wine blends ortega, schönburger, pinot gris, and bacchus from various vineyards on Vancouver Island. It was fermented in stainless to dryness, then moved in the charmat tank for secondary ferment and an RS left at 8 g/L. Crisp and bright with gooseberry, white melon, and crunchy Asian pear along a snappy, brief palate that finishes with a tangerine twist. Fun, fresh, and easy to enjoy on a patio or brunching.Tasted: 17 April 2026Tasted by: Prices:

Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe Blue Grouse Charme de l'île Blanc is the Cowichan Valley version of a mid-tier Prosecco. Made in the Charmat style, in which a large tank is injected with carbon dioxide to create soft bubbles, the BG version is a fresh mix of Island grapes led by 50% schonberger mixed with chardonnay, pinot gris, and ortega. It is a vibrant sparkler with engaging citrus, floral, and green notes and a hint of salinity inside its creamy texture. A fun, late afternoon, happy hour sipper.Tasted: 26 February 2025Tasted by: Prices:

Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe Charme de l'île Blanc is a pleasant mix of floral Germanic varieties grown on Vancouver Island. It is a vibrant sparkler with a bright acidity but a soft, almost cushiony texture. It is meant to be charming and a signature Island fizz filled with crisp apple and lemon curd. Made in the Charmat style, it’s Vancouver Island’s take on Prosecco.Tasted: 29 August 2024Tasted by: Prices:
