Did you know that Alto Adige cultivates more than 20 grape varieties?

This unique wine region located in northern Italy, bordering Austria, stretches north to south with a confluence of rivers, valleys and alps covering some 5,700 hectares. It boasts 274 family-run wineries and 5,000 grape growers. The leading varieties are Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, with precise aromas, fresh acidity, medium to full body, fine balance and elegant structure.

The 2022 vintage in Alto Adige was nothing short of exceptional, as it yielded flawless, healthy grapes with desired sugar levels and slightly reduced acidity. Have you tried them yet? See the link in our bio for the Top 4 Alto Adige wines available in BC.

Meet Justin Isidro, also known as @offthelist_somm, or the man behind VINÍCOLA PORTUGAL 🍷

This year, VINÍCOLA PORTUGAL gathered over 70 different wines from high-quality producers from the north to the south of Portugal under the roof of Heritage Hall on Main Street on September 16. From the robust reds of Douro Valley to the crisp whites of Vinho Verde, the wines were accompanied by a snack bar from Arc Iberico Imports and you could pick up a bottle you really liked from the on-site wine shop by @suttonplacewinemerchant.

Stay tuned and follow @justin_isidro/@offthelist_somm for more details about Vinícola Portugal next year 😉
