A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: I am consistently a fan of this noble blend from Joie consisting of gewurztraminer, riesling, pinot auxerrois, pinot blanc, muscat and a touch of schonberger from several vineyards, largely in the Naramata Bench. This honeyed loveliness is unsurprisingly appealing with wild aromas of cherry blossom and spice. Along with honey, the palate features a touch of white pepper and ginger which adds to the wine's exotic flair and complexity. Stock up for when curries are on the menu.
