despite not having posted in months i still like wine. i have been trying and drinking lots of it. found a couple good ones like the chilean santa carolina. it's a cab sav and it tastes nice. not acidic and loves cheese (who doesn't!). 17 dollars at the cottage so it's gotta be about 14 at the bcl.
on another note, mr floorburn and i had a great night at the international wine tasting. i was pleasantly suprised by my ability to actually taste the differences between the wines. highlights included a $180 bottle of french Champagne, the real deal. had a lovely savouriness about it, with tiny bubbles. two bordeaux at the end of the night blew my mind. had a smooth "waxiness" that i have been trying to find in the under twenty dollar wines. spent the last hour of the tasting focusing on late harvest and ice wines. delicious nectary honeyed sips. seems like this is one place bc wines stand out.
a nice little white wine i'd reccomend is the cono sur viogner. it's unoaked, which makes it smooth and a bit crisp. like a grape cider. tasty and fresh. good to drink on it's own. and only $13.
