Today's weather made me realize why I love Halifax in the summer and why Flavio and I opted on residing in this city instead of Pinerolo, Italy. (I may be cursing this town tomorrow, but for now the weather has put me in such a great mood that I'm content to be living on this side of the Atlantic.)
In honour of the first day of warm weather that we've had in a long time I picked up a mini bottle of the 2007 Joseph Drouhin St. Veran to have later tonight. The wine is very pale straw in colour with a delicate nose revealing flowers, apple and some minerality. This medium bodied wine has good minerality and bright citrus, apple and honeysuckle flavours. Makes me want to go fishing.

California Wine Show
Good day!
The 2009 Califonia Wine Fair is on today at Pier 21. The afternoon tasting is for hotel, restaurant and wine retail trade only, while the evening tasting is open to the wine loving public.
Tickets are available Bishop's Cellar, or at Pier 21 - by calling 425-7770, you may purchase by phone and they will hold them at the door for you.
From the list of wines I have read...this show is not to be missed.
Maybe I am biased..having just experienced so many fabulous California wines on my trip recently.
We carry quite a few of the wines that will be showcased today. Francis Ford Coppola, Hess Collection Winery, Ironstone Vineyards, J Lohr, Leaping Horse, McManis, Michael-David Winery, Seghesio, Sonoma Creek, and Wente...a few brands we have had for years, and a few recent additions. If you haven't tried them in-store, now is your chance.
Hope to see you there!
