Despite the fact that many wineries release new wines in early fall, summer is the time I drink the most wine. Sitting on the patio seems to bring out the best whites.
This summer Chaberton EstateReserve Bacchus 2016 topped my list of most enjoyed and most drunk wines.A perfect summer wine, rich in flavours. It starts with a nice aroma, tantalizes the taste buds with lime and pear. Followed by a smooth lasting finish.
We also enjoyed a few bottles of the 2015. One would be slightly pressed to decide which one is better but I gave a slight edge to the 2016.
The 2015 Récolte Blanche from Baillie-Grohman Estate Winery in Creston was another summer favourite. We managed to empty three bottles with ease. This wine was not easy to find on the shelves.
Backyard Vineyards 2015 Gewürztraminer also highlighted our summer wines. Yes, we did visit a number of Fraser Valley wineries over the summer, they all impressed with their friendly hospitality and quality wines.
One cannot forget Township 7 2016 Viognier bursting with flavours of peach and Honeysuckle. Blackwood Lane Chardonnay 2014 was another fine wine.
From Ontario, we enjoyed Kings Court Pinot Grigio 2015 and Hidden Bench Vineyards Estate Chardonnay 2014. We can not forget Closson Chase 2014 Block Chardonnay, Truis Winery Show Case Riesling and Pillitteri Estate Reserve Vidal Icewine.
The newly opened Seaside Pearl provided some fantastic wines for our summer patio dinners. Their Pinot Gris 2014 is very good. Look for a nice summer red try their Landing Road Red Blend 2014.
An excellent dessert wine was Krause Estate Winery Cassis (Black Currant) Dessert Wine. We can also recommend Chabertons Tribute 2013.
Now we must not forget Wild Goose Vineyards. The 2012 Mystic River Pinot Blanc is amazing! Their entire cellar is amazing
Back in Ontario Vineland Estate Dry Riesling 2015 makes a lovely wine for warm summer evening.
