October Tastings!


Autumn is here, and that means it is time to drink more wine! In recognition of the seasons, Hillside Liquor Store is putting on a few weekend wine tastings, starting with Blasted Church Winery from Okanagan Falls, BC.


Join us on October 10th from 4-8 pm for a Blasted Church tasting featuring the Mixed Blessings, Dam Flood and the Gewurztraminer.


Mixed Blessings is an aromatic white wine with pineapple, orange, apple and pear aromas and fresh crisp flavours of apple, pear, tropical fruits and a little citrus. Pair with curried prawns, shish-kebabs or Thai pizza.


The Dam Flood is a blend of Lemberger and Merlot. It is a medium bodied wine with an abundance of cherry, layers of plum, cranberry, and notes of chocolate finishing off with vanilla and cloves. It pairs well with Bison Burgers, red meats, anything grilled, or even spicy chili.


The Gewurztraminer has a strong ginger and lychee nose with flavours of citrus, apple and grapefruit rind leading into a spicy ginger finish. Pair this one with honey soy wings, Thai or spicy Chinese food, and turkey dinner.
