However, tough times call for tough measures. I\u2019ve gone from opening a bottle every couple of nights to opening a bottle every night. Now you may be shaking your head, but before you write me off, hear me out. Maybe, just maybe, you will join me.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to my association with the Metro Vancouver Wine Club wine conversations are flowing daily. We have started gathering online with a glass, a bottle and a story. The tastes are discussed &#8211; the aromas, flavours and balance of the wine. We talk about vintage, color, price and where we purchased the bottle. We give a shout out to participants by taking a group picture, toasting to a new way to celebrate wine and get out of the \u201cisolation\u201d zone. If you want to ameliorate your palate and wine vocabulary, join us! You didn\u2019t write me off? Not yet anyway.

Sperling Vineyard was certified organic in 2017 and has been practicing biodynamic viticulture for a decade. It is here that Ann Sperling continues to give us gifts in a bottle like Brut Reserve, Old Vines Riesling and Pinot Noir. Her magic touch gives us wines that are age worthy, as well as wines that can be sipped this afternoon. The 2013 Pinot Noir, definitely age worthy and an award winner, comes from Dijon clones (144, 177 and 828) suggesting the frenchiest of vines on mineral rich soils that have been tended since 1925.<\/p>\n<h3>The Winery<\/h3>\n<p>Located in the old Mission on east Lakeshore of Kelowna, this is one of the oldest planted vineyards in the Okanagan and worth a visit. The winery and tasting room have a great vibe that makes it a great afternoon hangout under the big old oak. The venue also hosts events in the summer like the one I attended &#8211; Garagiste North &#8211; last August.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the link (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sperlingvineyards.com\/index.html\">https:\/\/www.sperlingvineyards.com\/index.html<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sperling.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"45384\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wine-wednesday-with-barb-wild-sperling-vineyards-pinot-noir\/sperling\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sperling.jpg?fit=512%2C911&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"512,911\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sperling\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sperling.jpg?fit=512%2C911&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45384\" title=\"sperling\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sperling.jpg?resize=512%2C911\" alt=\"sperling\" width=\"512\" height=\"911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sperling.jpg?w=512&amp;ssl=1 512w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sperling.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Tasting Note<\/h3>\n<p>In the glass this is definitely bruised smoky red fruit, tart like cranberry, and sweet like strawberry, on a bed of forest floor with coffee ground earthiness and sweet vanilla cinnamon spice.

This was one of the purchases.\u00a0 List price was $24.79 before taxes but with discounts applied we paid $21.24. What a great deal for an aged BC pinot noir. It has a screw top and today (the second day) it tastes as good as it did yesterday with just a silkier note. I can\u2019t believe this bottle was sitting at Save-on Foods. \u00a0It\u2019s a bargain for the price.
