Whistler Cornucopia '07 - Day 1

I LOVE this Whistler weekend which happens to fall on my birthday.

This year I did the wine tasting Friday afternoon. This Trade Tasting is a fine opportunity to meet vintners and find out what new products the wine merchants are offering AND have fun doing it! Admission by donation benefits the Whistler Arts Council (WAC).

My favorite wine was the 2005 Dierburg Pinot Noir. It had great balance & flavour leaning towards the fresh rasberry end of the spectrum with sexy moccha and forest floor nuances. It is offered through the Renaissance Wine Merchants in Burnaby at $62.99 per bottle www.renwine.com

 I will buy a case and add it to my wine cellar to be on hand for those special dinners!!
