With a few days of self-catering ahead of us, we picked up a bottle or two as we were transported round the Okanagan Falls wineries last week. Since we are just about to consign the last empty bottle to the recycling bin, there are a few of them which are worth mention if any of you are travelling in this part of the world - probably outside Jimmy C's budget but not all of us are .......
The Drier Riesling from Syncromesh wineries was one of Linda's favourites - they had an eclectic selection of single vineyard Rieslings which were all interesting but we settled for the Drier because it suited our taste.
Kraze Legz winery had some great wines and we enjoyed a few of their products but their 2011 All That Jazz red was a great drinking wine.
Liquidity Wines - owned by Iain MacDonald (no guesses as to his ancestry) - was a class act - both in terms of the winery and the bistro but also the art displayed in the winery. We enjoyed a couple of their wines but special mention for their 2014 Estate Chardonnay.
There are something like 300 wineries in the Okanagan Valley and we only scratched the surface in one small area - which is a very good reason to return sometime soon. However if you see BC wines on sale in your local bottle shop then give them a try - they may not be great but they are sure to be very drinkable.
