We are one of only a few private stores in Vancouver to carry these sought after wines. Limited quantities and they will go fast. Riesling, Noble Blend and the Rose are all excellent wines in the $24.50 to $28.00 range. Great to buy now and put away for the patio this summer !

Joie wines are some of the very best whites wines found in the province. This Naramata Bench winery produces small amounts of original mostly blended wines. 2007 was quite a good year and their wines reflect the vintage.  

They have just completed a new winery building near their 5 acre vineyards. They supplement their vineyards with quality grapes grown in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. These wines are limited to purchase directly from the winery as they do not have a tasting room. Restaurants or select private wine stores also sell them on a limited basis. The wines range in price from $20 to $32 retail.  

The 2007 Noble Blend, is a mix of Gewurtztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Kerner, Pinot Gris and Ehrenfelser. Done in an Alsatian style this wine is a delicious blend of grapefruit, spice and orange blossom and citrus flavours and taste. It is medium bodied and has a pleasant lingering finish. I wish more wineries in BC would create this flavourful style of wine.   

Next up is the best Rose style wine in the province, the 2007 Rose is a very versitlie food wine blended from Pinot Noir and Gamay with small amounts of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris added. It's strawberry jam, spice and cherry notes are medium bodied, off dry and lead to a clean dry finish, an outstanding wine very well balanced and a delight to drink.   A limited amount (672 cases) of the 2007 Riesling is available.

On the attack crisp lemon lime flavours lead to a light/medium bodied mid palate with honey and spicy ginger notes emerging. The wine is perfectly off dry, balanced and ends long and lingering on the finish.   Try these wines soon as the production is very limited and many customers try a bottle and come back disappointed to find out they are sold out. They also make one red wine called PTG. Total production on this wine is 22 cases so make sure you get them while they are hot!
