 The Top 5 Recommendations for Wine Touring & TastingWhether you are traveling to the wineries of British Columbia or the vineyards in the south of France for wine tasting, there are a few key recommendations that will guarantee a brilliant time.
 Recommended White Wines The following is a list of the wines that are recommended for this session. You will find bottles at the BC Liquor Store or private stores like Marquis Wine Cellars.
 Love is ...Italian White Wine When discussing Italian white wine, many think of Pinot Grigio and venture no further. Maybe it is the language barrier or maybe it’s just a lack of wine experience. Who can be sure? Did you know that Pinot Grigio is not even the most widely planted white grape in the country! When you lift the lid on the Pandora's box of white wines of Italy, you’ll discover - wow - a lot of freshness, flavour and affordability often sitting on the shelf right next to “reliable” Pinot Grigio. These styles can offer up crisp, fruity freshness that pairs perfectly with seafood, salads or patio sipping to richness and elegance perfectly suited to roasted Mediterranean chicken and pork dishes. Are you ready for some excitement and adventure in the discovery of many characterful and quality native Italian grapes? If so, read on.
Wine Recommendations On Thursday, April 8th we will gather with Mark Shipway on Zoom to travel the world of wine – this time in one of the most iconic wine regions of the world – North West Italy and home to Piemonte, Liguria, Lombardy and Valle d’Osta (Italy’s smallest wine region). The following list is our recommended list of wines available from BC Liquor Stores & Marquis Wine Cellars.
 Piedmont Piedmont borders France and Switzerland and sits at the foot of the Alps. Here the terrain rises to elevations of 1500 feet and drifts south to the fertile Po River Valley. The Alps protect the hills of Piedmont but can bring weather events like hail, frost and winds. The boom of air cannons reminds those in the vicinity of the on-going efforts to protect the vineyards from hail. Temperatures are monitored closely as are forecasts. Frost in the spring and fall are problematic in this hilly region. Fogs cling to the vineyards offering sometimes protection and sometimes death. Mists keep humidity in and breezes keep disease out. It’s miraculous that vintages succeed here in Italy famous gastronomic paradise.
