anthony gismondi: b.c. sparkling wine on the edge of becoming something special - built in stainless steel charcoal grill

B. C.
The sparkling wine has always been getting better and better, not only what we are open to celebrating special moments, but also needs to be accepted by the public.
When I think about the history of B. C.
Sparkling wine, it is easy for four to think: Harry McWatt defeated Jay Brutt of Sumak Ridge Stell in Summerland;
Stephen Cipes, founder of Summerhill Pyramid Winery and producer of kelona Cipes Brut;
Ian and Jane Mavety, the orcanagan couple are behind B's long-time darling Blue Mountain BruttC. fizz market.
Everyone is on a different path to sparkling wine, but on the path of about 30 years, they are still at the center of the sparkling wine story, and now the whole province produces sparkling wine
The Blue Mountains, which have grown grapes for a long time, hired a wine consultant very early on and did many things that were not done by the new winery --
They avoid selling any wine in question, which leads to an early and reliable reputation.
The restaurant community became an early adopter with little or no competition and plenty of supply
Sales soared all the way.
Avoiding government liquor stores and not seeking approval from VQA will only make them more mysterious and attractive to trade.
The current Gold Label Brut is a compilation of growing knowledge and winemaking under the control of a second country for decades
Matt and Christie's.
This is the fruit of OKANA falls estate, which is 50/45. 5/4.
A mix of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Grey. After a two-
Rest on the distiller's grains in the bottle for a year, and during the six to nine months before release, it is floated, spilled and aged.
Although the gold label is reliable, the new-
The retro version of Ish Blanc may be the ultimate blue mountain sparkling story, but it will take another year or two for us to be sure.
On that day, many people walked through the small sparkling wine cellar in sumakling.
Aged sparkling wine is abroad in B. C.
In the 1990 s, but that didn't stop the McWatt family from putting all of his energy into a project that really lights up the natural advantages of our growing grapes, the sour content of these grapes is related to our blackpino and blackpino in the great champagne.
McWater is a veteran.
In a time when few people have heard of méthóde champenoise, guess Steller's Jay, which is a strict process for making champagne.
Further north, Cipes are busy building his pyramid and aging his Cipes Brut on an 8-cent scale
A replica of the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
Cipes's mantra is organic from the beginning, with no simple achievements in sparkling wine.
Many sparkling wines have flowed out of the summer mountain for years, but the real announcement is 1998 Cipes Ariel Brut.
At the age of over 15, it began to appear younger than ever in the tasting, showing rich, powerful, sophisticated aromas and equally impressive creamy texture.
Again driven by the perfect acidity required for aged sparkling wine.
In recent years, the next generation has picked up the baton and explored every sparkling wine produced on Earth.
At Okanagan Crush Pad, Haywire, Narrative, and Free Form labels are exploring a variety of production methods, including tank methods (à la Prosecco)
There is also the Ancestrale method where wine is bottled before the end of alcoholic fermentation.
At Bella wine, only sparkling wine is produced, with a focus on a single vineyard.
At the Fitzpatrick family vineyard, the old and sophisticated wines of the old fizz are producing amazing results.
On Vancouver Island, wineries such as albertcreek, Ainsworth and Enrico are using Charme de l'Ile moniker to represent Charmat (tank)
The method of using Island grapes failed.
They joined pioneers like Zana tower and Ventura Schulz, who were early island champagne champions.
Sparkling wine is becoming a characteristic of B. C.
Despite the irony, it won't happen unless we accept it as a wine of ordinary consumption, not just something we are open to celebrating special moments.
