Summerhill N/V Cipes Brut, British Columbia ($23.49, #314419)
Here’s a classic B.C. bubbly for a classy romantic. Kelowna’s Summerhill Pyramid Winery has long been regarded for its lineup of sparkling wines and its Cipes Brut remains a stalwart wine companion. A unique — and locally appropriate — blend of organically grown Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, this strawcoloured bub wafts apple and nutty aromas while offering mouthfilling texture and good freshness. Pour on its own, pair with strawberries, or serve with a pot of fondue — however your romantic inclinations align.
Bottom line: B+ “Classic
B.C. bub.”
