TOP 5: SUMMER SIPPERS

Okanagan aromatic whites that will make your summer worth the wait.

The Blue Mountain 2006 Chardonnay ($20.90) recently had a group of California wine geeks toasting their glasses for its bright citrus and noticeable lack of oak.

Join our mile high club with Golden Mile Cellars 2006 Sauvignon Blanc ($18.90). Think tropical flavours like grapefruit, lemon and pineapple.

Laughing Stock LFNG 2007 Pinot Pinot ($21.90) marries the fruit forward honey of a Pinot Gris with the crisp apricot of a Pinot Blanc. Sounds like a match made in heaven…who's laughing now?

Better think fast to get your hands on the award-winning Tantalus 2006 Old Vine Riesling ($24.90) as there are just a few cases left (minus one recently purchased by us).

If it's therapy you need, it's Therapy Vineyard's Pinot Gris ($23.99) you shall get from this crisp, well-structured gem. After all, life's all about balance.

Some wines available at Liberty Wine Merchants or by contacting the wineries directly.
