from Jurgen Gothe
Rocky Creek Pinot Gris 2009 ($17.90)
Just released by the Vancouver Island winery that’s making waves, this is a resoundingly pink PG. They describe it as having a golden/salmon colour; I say it’s Mateus pink. Act quickly to access this head-of-the-class wine, since they only made 220 cases. Very dry and steely, with a long, pear-infused finish, it wants coconut shrimp, curry, sushi, or anything spicy. Also great with the arugula and prosciutto pizza from Nook on Denman Street. (They’ll pack one to go.) Some savvy Vancouver indie wine stores carry it—Village VQA stores, Firefly, Broadway International—and there’s always the winery.
