Happy 40th Anniversary, Select Wines 🥳

What a journey and the incredible portfolio of brands from around the world acquired over the years! Thank you for inviting us to be a part of this celebration along with our friends from @poplargrovewinery and many Old World wineries from across the pond, including @jermann_wine, @famigliacotarella and @ramospintowines. Here's to many more years of @selectwinemoments discovering and sharing the best of both worlds with us 🍷

After spending a few weeks in Italy this summer, we can't help but seek out opportunities to taste more Italian wines in BC. Case in point, Tenuta San Guido tasting last week at @vancouverclub.

Planted up to 350 meters on the hills, Tenuta San Guido vineyards were the first in Italy to be given their own DOC contained in one estate: the DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia.

Wines tasted:
- Guidalberto, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
- Sassicaia,a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc
- Le Difese, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese

Covering some 168,000 hectares, Grenache is the world’s seventh most widely planted grape. Also known as Garnacha, Garnaxta, Alicante, Nieddu, Cannonau, Lladoner and Uva di Spagna, this grape thrives in warm sites and is far more common outside of Canada. Nevertheless, some South Okanagan wineries have been experimenting with Grenache and here are a few local blends to try:

• @bartierbros Grenache Syrah Mourvedre 2020 - full bodied GSM with a bright acidity, structured tannins, and a long mineral finish.
• @pentagewinery GSM 2016 - spicy floral notes with attractive flavours of sweet berries, ripe plum and tart cherries on the palate.
• @kismetwines 2019 Moksha - full-bodied and elegant with dark fruits, minerals and spice.

Happy #GrenacheDay 🍷
