It was an unusual decision in the Okanagan, where most wineries are experimenting with a wide array of grapes. With their architect they designed a building which would rest on the hillside, and among other features, use gravity to send the grape juice from the press to the tanks — to avoid bruising the fruit with pumping. The first harvest for the new winery took place in 1997, and the chardonnay and pinot gris were both released carly last fall. Their reception has been nothing short of spectacular, Among other reviews, the October 1998 edition of Wine Access scored the Chardonnay 90/100, the highest mark awarded a white wine and said it was “certainly the best 1997 chardonnay we've tasted to this point ... more proof that an experienced winemaker can make a big difference.” And the pinot scored 89/100 and was described as “a great new addition to B.C.’s small family of pinot gris producers. There’s a cer- tain delicate nature to the wine that suggests B.C. fruit but it is well-balanced with a ripe round finish. This is a treat to sip.” In March, well-known wine writer Anthony Gismondi wrote a feature about the winery in the National Post. He said he wouldn’t be surprised to see its wines compete interna- tionally. High praise for a new winery. Unfortunately, if you want to buy a bottle of the wines which have garnered so much praise, you’re going to have trouble.

And we just don’t have arv more,” said Midge Wvse. “Some people get quite upsct.” You can taste it in several restaurants, including the Beach Side Cafe ond Salmon House on the Hill on the North Shore. There is some good news though; the 1997 Merlot was just released yesterday. This reporter had not yet tasted it to press time, but if the quality of the whites is any indication, the merlot should be delicious. The Wyses are now kept busy commuting berween the Okanagan and the North Shore. The success is pleas- ing, bur not altogether sur- prising for Wyse. “I've always believed if you’re going to do some- thing you have to it the very best way you can.” For information about the °97 reds, and the ‘98s (the Pinot Gris has already been bottled, and isn’t yet sold out) check out the Web site: or call 1-877-498-0620. 4 THURSDAY BUFFET ! 985-0501 ! 1 _ ALL YOU CAN EAT!!! »- 20 hot food items - salad bar ’ -desserts [ Y COUPON VALID UNTIL JUNE 30,1999 I 127 east 3™ street, N.Van. ee ee ee ee ee ee “EELY, ” HOME OF THE aT eis FREE Order an entree & receive a soup - or salad for free.
