2019 Kettle Valley Merlot McGraw Okanagan Valley
Really like this Merlot. Traditional in style with dark cherry fruit, mint, dust and earthy minerallity.

2017 Culmina Family Estate Winery Dilemma Okanagan Valley VQA Chardonnay
More zaftig than I thought when tasting at the winery this past October, but it goes in the direction of Meursault, not California, so I'm totally okay with that. I have one more bottle that I'll plan on drinking over the next year.

2019 Phelps Creek Vineyards Pinot Gris Estate Reserve Columbia Gorge
Don't just like it, love it. This is really special because barrel-fermenting brings a sophistication to Pinot Gris that most of us don't realize it can have. This light yellow wine has spice and body for days. Blind, would never have guessed the grape. So sorry I didn't buy more.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov

I see lots of social media presence for Phelps Creek, but have never tried a bottle. You continue to make me think I should.
