Island Wines

[Jenise]

Don't forget Vancouver Island....Blue Grouse, Alderlea, Beaufort......

I checked with Everything Wine to see what they had--a rose from Saturna was all. They've had Blue Grouse in the past, though--I especially like their 100% Ortega. Also Underworth, though I don't know if the wines are still as good as they were under the owner I met up in Palmerston.

Ortega! You don't see that often.

Gray Monk (BC) used to make one. Don’t see it for sale right now, but they might still make it.

Larch Hills in BC makes an Ortega. I have no experience with that winery, so can't assess the wine. See

Never heard of them. It's only semi-dry, though. 10.7% abv.

The Blue Grouse was exceptionally good the one time I had it. They also do a blend that also contains Ortega, but it's dilute compared to the other.
