Kumeu River Mate’s Vineyard Chardonnay 2014, New Zealand, $40
This wine is one of my favourite newworld chardonnays. It’s great to see it in B.C.
Soumah Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013, Yarra Valley, Australia, $28
Extremely goodvalue pinot noir from a top producer in the Yarra Valley that shows terroir in spades.
Pewsey Vale Contours Vineyard Riesling 2010, Eden Valley, Australia, $38
This is one of my favourite singlevineyard riesling sites in the world and it always overdelivers. It ages really well, and I have a vertical of this wine back to 2003.
