I will cheer for my home team but I have a feeling that this is one time when it is true that everyone who participates is a winner. You guys are the winners for hosting - I lose for not being there.

I can't say that I've ever had a Canadian Riesling (I should be ashamed, I know), but I'll certainly put it front and center on my to-do list. In the meantime, thanks for joining the "Drink Pink" crusade.... we need all the help we can get! :) Great resolutions, Jake…. especially Quintarelli & Valandraud.

If you haven't tried good BC or Niagra Riesling, I suggest doing your best to find some. Personally, I think it's one varietal that both BC and Ontario do quite well. Not too sure which one does it better yet, but I'll keep you posted. yvrmark, thanks for your notes on the Clos Badon Thunevin... it sounds like a special wine. Khristian, awesome price on the Quintarelli Valpolicella! I haven't seen it in a shop for less than $80 in California so far. In the States, apparently most Italian wines are noticeably cheaper in New York than California, because that's where the shipments land before being distributed. Is it the same deal in Canada? Travisoke, I've always thought the Prospect Riesling was good value... although in no short supply in BC, it's only $12.99! Shea, that's amazing. I'm so in on both of those.

Join me and Sean from vinifico.com for a vertical of Orion (I collected a few of them when I was down there). 2. I will go in on a quintarelli, including the amarone, this year. Let me know. I also would love to join in the riesling tasting, or loire, or whatever! Shea I can make two of these things happen:

I just purchased some Prospectus Pinot and Riesling - an affordable BC wine is not that easy to come by in Ontario. I have my resolutions posted at http://pullthecork.wordpress.com/

The bottle shop salesman pointed it out as a lesser known, garagiste, sub-culture bottle, which is what we were looking for. We've opened a bottle of the 2001 and it was unique - tons of terroir & barnyard character, not overly oaked, letting the fruit speak for itself - exactly what the non-bourgeois locals would drink. I'm hoping one day we'll see more of his wine in Vancouver - I haven't looked that hard though... @yvrmark I picked up a few bottles of Clos Badon Thunevin when I was in Bordeaux a few years ago.
