SAWMILL CREEK CHARDON-
NAY (NON-VINTAGE) | $7.75
(B.C.)

T hardly think this low-rent local
‘has the lads at Montrachet re-doing
their sums, but it went down fine
with the lemon-peppered red snapper
and stir-fried salad, which is more
than you could say for most B.C.
wines a few years back. No blud- ”
geoning oak; but not a lot of distinc-
tive varietal character; just simple

~ clean forward fruit and what might
be generously described as “a hint of Chablis-like
‘flintiness” on the finish. Or did J have a piece of foil
wrap from the fish stuck in my bridgework?

Birkenhead Lake, gnashing through
helpings of thick ribs barbied at the
big stone firepit, listening to the °
river burble ‘by and waiting for the
wood-fired hot tub to reach optimum
temperature to parboil the soul. 1
went back for seconds, thirds, proba-
“bly fourths, on the wine during the
technical discussion of the niceties
of black-powder shooting while the
wind sighed through the lodgepole
-pines overhead, If you're the type who'd remark that
an ‘82 Chateau Margaux would be preferable to the 3
L cask we were draining, you probably need therapy
‘more than another glass of wine.
Both these wines also come in the 1.5 L. “jug o°
fun" and 3 L. “Box of bingo” sizes at economically
advantageous rates: $14.50 and $25.95 respectively.
