Eight wines worth seeking out from our own back yard and beyond
You always drink Pinot Grigio. Or Cabernet Sauvignon, if you’re inclined to red wines. Or maybe you pick the same bottle, every time you’re in your local wine shop because you know you like it. The label is familiar. You know you can’t go wrong. Still, Alberta has thousands of wines to choose from — more than any other province in Canada. It’s time to break out of your rut and try something new.
Here are eight wines to search out, four from British Columbia plus four international wines from lesser-known grape varietals (well, lesser-known to most Calgarians.) Buy a bottle. Or two. Or all eight. Maybe you’ll find a new favourite.
