Enjoy Wine, Food, and Travel with Karl MyWinePal
As I mentioned for my five-star wine ratings this year, COVID limited the number of events and thus wines that I could taste that came from around the world to BC. That being said, I am grateful for the BC wineries that sent me wines to taste, plus wines from wine agencies. There are many wines that fit into my…
Do you gift BC wine to others, or for yourself, during the upcoming holidays? I reached out to our BC wineries asking what deals they are offering people for the holidays. Here is my list. If there are any other BC wineries that would like their holiday offerings added to my list, please comment below or email contact@mywinepal.com. ~~~ Hillside…
Grape harvest time is special. There is the beauty of the ripe grapes and the leaves of the vines starting to change colours and the sights, sounds and smells of the grapes as they are sorted, crushed, and pumped to vat or barrel. And the anticipation of making great wine from the grapes that the winery spent countless months and…
Canadian Thanksgiving 2021 is going to be very different this year for many of us who are accustomed to getting together with our parents, brothers and sister, and maybe aunts and uncles for dinner. Just like Thanksgiving 2020, but now that many of us have been vaccinated we can open our bubble a little. I’ve checked through my BC wine…
One of my goals for the Fall is to visit a winery and see part of their harvest operation, talk to the winemaker, and taste some of their wines. I accomplished all three of these goals through a visit to Moon Curser Vineyards in Osoyoos, BC. Today I will tell you about my wine tasting with Stephanie at the winery…
If you like big, bold wines, then these two BC wines from Moon Curser Vineyards in Osoyoos fit the bill. If they were a singer, I’d suggest Barry White, with his big, deep, and silky voice. The two wines in question are the Moon Curser Vineyards Border Vines 2019, a Bordeaux blend, and the Dead of the Night 2019, a…
My last wine notes were on Moon Curser Vineyards Arneis and Viognier, which are sold out at the winery. It made me a little sad that you could not try these wines, so I’ve opened their Syrah 2019 and Malbec 2019, which are available, and are delicious! Get out your BBQ! The sweet fruit flavours should go very well with…
Moon Curser Vineyards is a boutique, family-owned winery on the East Bench of Osoyoos. The Moon Curser name pays tribute to the gold smuggling history of Osoyoos (Is there gold still to be found?). During the gold rush, it was the dark of night that brought commotion to the area. Moon Curser Vineyards has the benefit of a very warm…
With all the restraint we had collectively over COVID and the opening of restrictions, the Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country’s Pig Out Trails in September sounds like a great way to celebrate. Here is the press release with info about how you can buy your tickets. Buy quickly as I’m sure the tickets will sell out fast! ~~~ Oliver, BC (June…
When we think about red wines of BC we think of wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah grapes. But what about lesser known grapes such as Malbec? How much single varietal Malbec wines are made in BC, or is blended with other grape varieties to make a “Meritage” wine? Malbec is a Bordeaux grape that needs…
