The Finest Ortega!
Blue Grouse Ortega 2013 $20
As a rule wines from Vancouver Island break my heart. The area seemed so full of promise even five years ago—it was going to be the Burgundy of Canada, growing elegant cool climate wines of character. But more often than not they were thin, mean wines. They were expensive though, so they got that part of Burgundy right....

Georgia Straight--Blue Grouse 2012 Cowichan Station Estate Pinot Noir review
Blue Grouse 2012 Cowichan Station Estate Pinot Noir (Vancouver Island, B.C.; $23 at the Blue Grousewebsite)
It can be tough to grow wine grapes and make decent wine on Vancouver Island. Vineyards there don’t have the heat that the Okanagan Valley enjoys, so getting heartier fruit to optimal ripeness isn’t often in the cards—the main reason why we don’t see big Cabernets or Syrahs hailing from here.
