Time to Taste a Rosé, I'd say!

 


This time we taste a 2024 Blue Grouse Rosé from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. "Blue Grouse is one of Vancouver Island's pioneering wineries, known for sustainably farmed vineyards in the Cowichan Valley and wines that emphasize freshness, elegance, and cool-climate character.”" Let's see if that wine holds up to the legend!

This time we taste a 2024 Amalaya Torrontés Riesling Blend from Salta, in the north of Argentina. This white blend is mostly Torrontés which is an aromatic grape, somewhat like Gewürztraminer, with a bit of Riesling to add some nice structure.
