Aces Okanagan Wine News

on

Here’s hoping rain-kissed spring finds you fine as wine – take comfort knowing that healthy vines also appreciate a great drink.

The big news: our 2008 Seven Deuce. Sourced from the same, micro-managed Osoyoos small lots as our premium reds, this Shiraz/Cab Sauv blend will blow you away. 14 months in the barrel. Cellarable for a decade. Pairs sublimely with steaks, sausages and sundry sizzling stuff.

At $17.90, this big red is a COLOSSAL value. (Tell your guests it’s a $45 bottle – no one will call your bluff.) Pre-order Seven Deuce now before its June release. One case minimum order.

Our incomparable 2007 Pocket Aces Syrah (Taste BC’s ‘People’s Choice Award’ winner) is growing scarce so we’re limiting sales to a single bottle per member. Make a play while you can and buy it now.

Since our launch last fall, we’ve pleasured a plethora of palates and widened our availability.

Find us now in these VQA stores:

  • Kelowna’s Discover Wines
  • Penticton’s BC Wine Information Centre
  • Tsawwassen’s Mud Bay Wines
  • Langley’s The Wine Emporium

Also at:

  • Kelowna’s Metro Liquor (Waterfront Wines)
  • Kelowna’s The Rotten Grape (by the glass)
  • Liberty Wines locations in Vancouver
  • River Rock Casino’s Curve Lounge and Tramonto Restaurant.

Many more outlets will follow, each to be listed on our website.

Lastly, ACES will participate in the Osoyoos Celebrity Wine Auction gala event at Spirit Ridge Resort Saturday, June 12, from 7 to 11 p.m.

We’re wildly anticipating a never-before-seen food & wine pairing called “Duelling Chefs vs. Duelling Winemakers”: eight top BC winemakers will pour their wine, and comment on cuisine prepared by four top-ranked celebrity chefs. Topping it all off is a live performance by Steven Page, formerly of the Barenaked Ladies.

Proceeds benefit Osoyoos and children’s charities. Please see the attached PDF flyer and www.osoyooscelebritywinefestival.com for event details. It would be great to see you there!
