Cadboro Bay Road;
Released over the last month;
- Calona Vineyards 2008 Pinot Gris
- Desert Hill Gamay Noir & Mirage
- Road 13 2008 Old Vines Chenin – delicious!

Glenn’s VQA pick of month; if you are looking for a richer style Rose that is just off dry, the Nelly is lip smacking juicy and a first time release. For full on big tropical fruit combined with crunchy acidity, don’t miss the Road 13 OV Chenin. From 30 year old vines, this wine packs a punch and is very limited in quantity so don’t miss it.
