New Year's Eve!

To help celebrate 2010, Hillside Liquor Store is holding two different bubbly tastings today!

The first runs from 12-4, and features the classic Martini Asti. Martini Asti is made from the naturally sweet Moscato grape, and is produced in a tiny town called Asti, in Northern Italy. The bubbly is fruity and floral, with nice fizz, and will appeal to those who enjoy their wines on the sweeter side. It pairs well with desserts, sweet fruits such as strawberries and kiwi, or can be used in sparkling cocktails, such as the Mimosa or the Kir Royale.

The second tasting will be from 4-8 pm, and features the Henkell Brut and Rose, as well as the Deinhard Lila brut.

The Henkell Trocken is the original sparkling wine from this German winery.
This dry, fully matured sparkling wine owes its elegant character to a unique Cuvée of excellent wines originating from such classic grape varieties as French Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Blanc de Noir from French Pinot Noir and Chenin from Saumur. Henkell Trocken sparkles with vivacious and long lasting effervescence. Thanks to the play of greenish reflections, the delicate light amber colour gains lively, expressive nuancing. The taste is fresh, tingling, with a lingering finish, while a subtle fragrance suggestive of tropical fruit develops in the bouquet. The finely blended, harmonious composition makes Henkell Trocken a well-balanced, consummate taste experience.

The Henkell Rose is the newest offering from Henkell.
For friends of a fine Rosé sparkler, Henkell Trocken has what it takes. Vivaciously effervescing, Henkell Trocken Rosé is a refreshingly elegant sparkler originating from such quality wines as Pinot Noir and Gamay. With its exquisite apricot hue and orangish reflections, it sets colourful highlights at any festive occasion. Its superb, delicately fruity and harmonious taste is a special treat for those who prefer dry character in a Rosé.

Deinhard Lila is the flagship of the House of Deinhard, a premium sparkling wine, which promises something out of the ordinary. The demand for high quality is reflected in the base wines – the Riesling wines used for Deinhard Lila originate from the wine-growing areas of the Middle Rhein and Mosel.
The palate shows floral, blackcurrant and finely acidic fruit, which makes it ideal as an aperitif, an excellent match with seafood, or just on its own.

Countdown to New Year's

On Wednesday, December 30 (that's New Year's eve eve), Hillside Liquor Store is hosting a bubbly tasting to help with your New Year's Eve libation decision. The Champagne tradition require a good bubbly toast to ring in the New Year, but with so many sparkling wine options, how is one to choose?

Here are some tips and facts:

• Champagne refers specifically to sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France. Everything else is sparkling wine. Champagne typically starts (in BC) at $49 and up.
• Many countries produce fantastic sparkling wine and they can range from bone-dry to super-sweet and anywhere in between. The labelling can be confusing, as each country has its own way of denoting dry or sweet.
• The international standards for denoting sparkling wine sweetness are (from driest to sweetest): brut natural, extra brut, brut, extra sec, sec, demi-sec and doux.

• The proper way to open a bottle of sparkling wine is to un-do the foil cage and dispose of it. Next, tilt the bottle away from your face, firmly grip the cork, and turn the bottle, not the cork. The cork should loosen with a minimum fuss and zero spillage.
  The December 30th tasting will focus on Australian sparkling wine. The tasting will feature the Seaview Sparkling Brut, Yellowglen "Pink" and the Wolf Blass Yellow Label sparkling.
  

Seaview is a household name in Australia respected for its champagne-like style of sparkling wines. Seaview's origins date back to the 1850s when George Manning established 'Hope Farm' in McLaren Vale. The winery was renamed Seaview in 1951 by its new owners, Edwards and Chaffey. The fruit for the wines comes from many regions in South Eastern Australia. One of the first Australian winemakers to use the authentic French technique of methode champenoise, Seaview today exclusively makes sparkling wines.

The tasting notes for Seaview Sparkling Brut:
Deep gold colour and a ripe, sweet cantaloupe, honey, tobacco and biscuit nose are as you might expect from Australian bubbly. It is slightly sweet, with a glycerine texture, yet there is just enough acidity to maintain some grip and freshness. One of the most flavourful if not elegant bubblies around. Very good length.

Yellowglen "Pink"
Yellowglen's inception was in 1971, and has since become a major producer of Australian sparkling wine. There are three distinct ranges, the "Anytime", "Classic" and the "Elegant". Within these ranges are a variey of bubblies incuding classic vintage traditonal method, a low-calorie, and plain old fruity bubblies.
The tasting at Hillside Liquor Store will focus on the Pink, which is made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Pink Tasting Notes:
    Yellowglen Pink is soft ice pink in the glass and has a delicate bead. Distinctive Pinot Noir  aromas of strawberries with a splash of citrus bubble under the nose and develop into refreshing fruit characters of berry and lime with a hint of lemon. Ripe Chardonnay flavours provide the backbone to this delightful and surprising wine.

Wolf Blass is a long-respected Australian winery, known both for its red and white wines in a variety of ranges from the everyday to the celler-able.
Wolf Blass Yellow Label Sparkling Brut has a bouquet that is a complex balance of fresh fruit characters and creamy yeast nuances, while the palate shows delicate fruit, soft bubbles and crisp acidity on the finish.
Further Tasting Notes:
Another Aussie sparkler that aims for the dryness and leanness of a Euro sparkler. Mild, clean aromas of apple, with biscuit and lemony notes. Medium weight, soft and lively, with crisp grapefruit acidity. Good length.

Drambuie and Disaronno tasting Christmas Eve

To end the day on Christmas Eve, Hillside Liquor Store is hosting a tasting of Drambuie and Disaronno from 4-8 pm.

Drambuie is a honey and herb flavoured golden scotch whisky liqueur made from aged malt whisky, heather, honey and a secret blend of herbs and spices. The flavour suggests saffron, honey, anise, nutmeg and herbs. Drambuie can be served over ice, or as an ingredient in a Rusty Nail cocktail, among other drinks.

Disaronno is amaretto liqueur, made from an infusion of "apricot kernel oil" with "absolute alcohol, burnt sugar, and the pure essence of seventeen selected herbs and fruits"; the product does not contain any almonds or other nuts. Disaronno can be served over ice, or in a variety of cocktails.

Blogger Kevin Kossowan writes: "Super Pure red fruits and no oak whallop typical of the region. Clearly a different class. Medium concentration. Touch of pepper. Rich, fruity, tannic and dry. Nice structure without being ridiculous. Very, very nice. the purity of the fruit puts this into the 90+ category immediately."

The 2005 Bear is the premium Fairview Cellars blend. It contains the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a small percentage of the Cabernet Franc. It's maceration time was longer than the non-reserve wines and it was left to age for longer.

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon contains all estate-grown grapes. It shows nice deep red fruit, with hints of blackberry, cassis and coconut. With a great supple texture, it is on the lighter side for Cabs which makes it perfect for sipping solo, or pairing with a variety of foods.

Beringer winery has been around since 1876, when German native Jacob Beringer travelled to the USA to join his brother Frederick, who had settled in New York.

His brother Frederick joined him, and together they founded Beringer Winery. Beringer Winery is the oldest continuously operated winery in the Napa Valley, and in 2001 was placed on the National Registry for Historic Places as a Historic District. Today, Beringer Winery makes an incredibly diverse range of wines from the everyday table wine to wines for the cellar.

The Stone Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon shows aromas and flavours of dark black fruits blackberry and cassis dominate. There are also some nice earthy undertones with hint of cedar and spice. This is a well-structured wine, with lots of bright fruit and moderate tannins.

Little Straw Tasting Today!

To help with your holiday shopping, Hillside Liquor Store is holding a Little Straw wine tasting today from 3-7.

Little Straw is a winery in Kelowna owned by the three Slamka brothers. The vines were originally planted in 1969, and the grapes were sold to other wineries. In 1996, the winery opened under the name Slamka Cellars. By 2006, the winery had long changed its name to Little Straw (Slamka is Slovakian for Little Straw), and had opened a new building, complete with conference facilities, small bistro and tasting bar. Little Straw winery produces a variety of red and white wines, and is known for their Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and proprietary white blend, Tapestry.

Today's tasting will be the 2008 Sauvignon Blanc, 2008 Tapestry, and 2005 Marechal Foch. halfway through the tasting, the Tapestry will be switched with the 2008 Riesling, which won People's Choice at the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival.

The Sauvignon Blanc is slightly off dry, with incredible flavours and aromas of passion fruit, papaya, gooseberry, and citrus with a slight savoury olive finish. This wine is very food friendly, pairing well with oysters, goat cheese, white fish and turkey, but will also be exceptional for sipping solo.

The Tapestry is a blend of Traminer, Riesling, Auxerrois, Schonburger and Siegerrebbe. It has a floral nose and an off-dry palate with flavours of lychee, passion fruit and rose, with a nice acidity and a little spice. This wine is perfect for pairing with spicy foods, medium bodied cheese, sausages, turkey, wild game and smoked salmon.

The Riesling was left on the vine until the first week of November, giving the grapes an incredible depth of flavour and slight sweetness. This first sip of this wine shows freshly picked fall apples, which gives way to the more complex flavours of pear, lime and citrus. The nice acidity balances the sweetness that is present in the first sip. This wine is fantastic by itself, but also pairs well with sausages, turkey, roast chicken, a variety of cheeses and other appetizers.

The Marechal Foch is a silky-smooth, medium bodied wine showing aromas and flavours of black cherry, spice, black berry and cassis with a slight earthiness. This wine is an exceptional match for roast turkey, wild game, smoked cheeses, curries and cured meats.

Cedar Creek tasting today!

From 3:30-7:30 pm today, Hillside Liquor Store will be holding a Cedar Creek tasting.

Cedar Creek winery is located in Kelowna, and has vineyards in four different areas of the Okanagan, each chosen for their suitability for different grape varietals. The vineyards consist of 50 acres in Kelowna, 40 acres at Greata Ranch, between Summerland and Peachland, 25 acres at Desert Ridge, near Osoyoos, and 35 acres at Haynes Creek, near Osoyoos.
Today's tasting consists of the Gewurztraminer, the Pinot Noir and the Meritage.



The Gewurztraminer was harvested from Greata Ranch and CedarCreek, as well as other sites in Naramata and East Kelowna. This varietal thrives in cool climate viticulture regions and the 2008 vintage was cold-fermented in 100% stainless steel and finished in an off-dry style.

The Gewurztraminer shows aromas of white grapefruit, lemon/ lime citrus with a hint of spice. Lychee and grapefruit dominates the palate with refreshing acidity. Recommended with grilled prawns, halibut and Thai curries with fresh fruit.

The Pinot Noir grapes come from our CedarCreek and Greata Ranch Vineyards, which are ideal for growing Pinot Noir. After whole berry cluster pressing, it was fermented using partial wild yeast strains in open-top fermenters and turned using “Kathunking” (turning the cap) two times each day. Aged in a combination of new and one-year old French oak, this is a wonderful Pinot Noir at a great price.

The Pinot Noir is a rich garnet red colour with wild strawberry, raspberry, spice and red cherry aromas. Nutmeg, cloves and spice on palate. Soft silky tannins with a juicy lingering finish. Recommended with fresh salmon, roast lamb, turkey, duck and pork. Pairs well with soft to medium cheeses.

The Meritage is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The grapes for this blend were harvested from eight vineyards including Desert Ridge in Osoyoos along with sites in Peachland, Naramata, Oliver and Osoyoos. French oak barrel aging has created a well structured wine. This Meritage blend is a deep, dark red cherry with intense aromas of vanilla, coffee, chocolate, mint and berries. Dry and full-bodied with concentrated ripe fruit, structured tannins and a long, lingering finish. Recommended with herb-crusted lamb, prime rib, wild game, hearty stews and maple glazed salmon. Pairs well with firm and aged cheeses.

McWilliams Hanwood tasting today!

Friday's holiday tasting will be the McWilliam's Hanwood series of wines from 4-8 pm. McWilliam's is one of the oldest wineries in Australia (more than 130 years), sourcing its grapes from four different vineyard sites throughout Australia: New South Wales, Victoria, Margaret River in Western Australia and Coonawarra in South Australia.

The Hanwood Estate wines originate principally from the New South Wales region of Australia. Winemaker James McWilliam founded the winery there in 1917, and it has been in continuous operation ever since.

The tasting today will feature the Pinot Grigio, Shiraz and Merlot.

The Shiraz is crimson red with purple hues. This wine shows dark black fruit aromas of plum combined with spice and vanillin oak. The supple yet generous palate is dominated by rich, plum and raspberry fruit flavors with hints of spice and vanilla. The wine is soft and well balanced with and a lingering, fruit focused finish.

The McWilliam's Merlot is very nicely balanced in several key respects. The nose is warm, led by cassis, black plum, a touch of prune and some blackberry, backed up by the fragrance of cigar box, vanilla and some clove. Cranberry and blackberry lead the fruit, with acidity in pace, along with notes of chocolate, vanilla and tobacco. The fruit is ripe and well focused, but this is no one-dimensional fruit-forward wine. The supple tannins add another voice to the fugue, the sweet oak notes yet another. The finish is solid, with good tartness and lasting, well-integrated tannins.

Want to know about the McWilliam's Pinot Grigio? This is the newest wine added to the McWilliam's Hanwood line-up. How does it taste? Well, you'll just have to come in between 4-8 and try it yourself.

The Merlot is full of ripe strawberry and juicy blueberry with notes of black fruit and spice. A lush, rich wine with a soft supple palate and a long finish. This wine pairs well with hard cheeses, bbq or even spicy Asian foods.
