\"\"<\/a>Lucky for me my friend Dan Schell reps a number of great BC Wines and is kind enough to offer me a seat when one’s available. \u00a0Black Widow <\/a>winemaker, Dick Lancaster, was in town this week to present his wines along food pairings from Chef Nick Gazdag at Central Bistro<\/a>. \u00a0A steal of a deal at $50 all in, this was a great way to taste the Naramata Bench without leaving Vancouver.<\/p>\n

Dick and his wife, Shona, purchased the vineyard in 2000, and established Black Widow Winery in 2006. \u00a0The winery is a family business and also offers a Bed and Breakfast along with the Tasting Room and Patio.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/a>The meal began with their 2011 Syrah Rose, which is unfortunately sold out as there were only 35 cases made. The\u00a0ros\u00e9 is off-dry and has aromas and flavours of pomegranate, strawberries and a hint of spice. \u00a0Rather\u00a0luscious\u00a0and full bodied for a rose.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Quilcene<\/p>\n

Chef Gazdag paired the wine with a tin Quilcene Oyster with a citrusy kumkwat chip and a spicy pepper mignonette. \u00a0Perfect \u00a0combo for a afternoon on a patio.<\/p>\n

\"black<\/p>\n

Next up was Black Widow’s 2011 Pinot Gris, a Gold Medal winner at the All Canadian Wine Championships. \u00a0The wine was full of apple and pear aromas and flavours with some citrus and melon notes and a hint of minerality.<\/p>\n

\"Cod<\/a><\/p>\n

The Gris came with a baked cod full of tomato, garlic and herb flavours and some crunch French beans. \u00a0Another hit with the crowd.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/a><\/p>\n

Onto a red wine, we were poured a glass of the 2010 Phobia, a blend of 80% Syrah and 20% merlot, 100% Naramata fruit. \u00a0On the nose there’s black cherry, cassis, black currant and some leather. \u00a0The palate is smooth with black fruit, good acidity and medium tannins.<\/p>\n

\"Grilled<\/p>\n

This juicy glass came with a juicy Lamb Rack with roasted fingerlings and sauce vierge.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

\"Fruit<\/a><\/p>\n

To finish the 2011 Oasis was poured. \u00a0This wine is a blend of their own Schonburger, Gewurztramier and Pinot Gris. \u00a0Made in an off-dry style the wine has aromas and flavours of tropical fruits, melon and a hint of spice, a good companion for the tasty Fruit Packages in phyllo dough with buttermilk ice cream.<\/p>\n

\"Chef<\/a><\/p>\n

Chef Nick Gazdag and Winemaker Dick Lancaster wrap up the night.<\/p>\n

Look out for more Central Bistro wine and beer dinners. \u00a0It’s a great little spot that offers good value and a chance to mingle with the wine and beer makers and learn a little more about what’s in your glass.<\/p>\n
