Hi Michael,
Great post on site! Please e-mail me at natdecants@nataliemaclean.com. It’s about wine of course🙂
Cheers,
Natalie
glad I found your blog. i always want to get to know wine but don’t know where to start. i will certainly start from here.
Keep coming back…thanks so much abeautiful day.
I read your article on Canada.com today you state the 8th generation winery is in Okanagan Falls,
It is actually in Summerland BC.
Thanks for reading Robert. The 8th Generation winery is indeed located in Summerland. Fruit for the Riesling reviewed here is sourced from vines in Okanagan Falls.
Most of the wineries in the Okanagan source their grapes from many different vineyards throughout the region and I was not aware that those grapes came from OK falls but makes sense as 8th Generation vineyard is not that big. Thanks for your reply, by the way I bet I had some of that Riesling before you did and yes it is a very fine wine. I drive past their winery everyday!
Hi Michael,
I would love to sit down with you and do a portfolio tasting. Do you have some time in the next few weeks?
Cheers
