Gray Monk Latitude 50 White 2007

This offering from Gray Monk on Okanagan lake (http://www.graymonk.com/WinePortfolio.php?art=67) is our latest favorite value wine from BC. Actually, it's probably our only favorite value wine from BC, and to tell the truth, we never would have tried it on our own. It's below the price point where we typically find things we like, but someone served it to us at a recent party, and we were very pleasantly surprised.*

This is not a serious wine, but it is pretty delicious for something that is well under $15.00. Typical of Okanagan whites, this blend has lots of tropical fruit, and some acidity. It goes well with Asian-style food, but it's very pleasant served on its own.


*I know that not all good wines are expensive, nor are all expensive wines good. But in general, the two are fairly correlated, and we take fewer risks with lower priced wines than we used to. Thankfully, not all of our friends think the same way, and so we still get the chance to try wines like this one from time to time.
