On my adventure of "drinking the rainbow", this wine/grape certainly is on the list of something novel... The story here is about a Piemonte based grape resurrection, from virtual extinction!

My wine cellar is pretty broad, and I have been learning about Italian wines of late. Frankly, classified Bordeaux, for as good as it is, has become overpriced. So I look elsewhere. Twenty years ago, my cellar was probably 90% Bordeaux, but I am more judicious now. I can afford it, but I choose not to! Italy and Rhone are where the QPR wines seem to be these days. John W

8/6/2023 4:15:00 PM - Thanks for the follow and right back at you Sagan99! Btw, I love Calgary though I haven't visited in a while. I'm over due for a visit. I look forward to following your notes. All the best! MJP

As for sourcing, Sandi, DDLC and Chanin are hard to find. I've occasionally seen Chanin in larger local wine stores here in Chicago. You can also check online stores like Flickinger or Spectrum Wine, but they're both in the U.S. I don't know about shipping to Canada.

So far, I was able to see one comes to this area, but, it is out of stock at that store, but they are on my radar now.
I appreciate the guidance immensely!
Regards

After reading your profile, may I suggest a few of my favorite California & Oregon Pinots that you might like? Check out Bell Pente, Sandhi (esp. single vineyard pinots & chards), Domaine De La Cote (their second and more upscale label), Chanin (I love his pinots), Lingua Franca, and Storm (the Santa Barbara one. ZA Storm is his brother).

My better half Carol is a native Floridian with little snow experience. I'm hoping to get her out West to CO or BC to see snow this winter but somehow even in retirement we seem to stay way too busy! Off to Deer Valley and Colorado next week to drink some great wines with CT friends we've met on here. This is a great place with great people. Cheers!

Just an easy drinking, easy to pair, good quality wine from Guigal.
Will be the summer house wine without a doubt.
And it's 20 $CAD!
