Bill lines up.

I keep trying to persuade myself I’m not a competitive person, but when push comes to shove, I am the first to post! Ha!
I am intending to discuss one bottle consumed and am giving the rest of you the chance to pick one other from the four sampled. I would like to read your posts within 48 hours or you will be receiving a large black mark this end.
That being said, thanks are due all round to fellow bloggers. Screwtop for sharing, Corked for chauffeuring and Sommelier for choosing…
I get to do the Okanagan. I am pleased to announce that Bill Eggert – Fairview Cellars 1994 – is doing something right. Exhibiting much more complexity than I have come to expect from Okanagan wines, this Bordeaux style blend made for very pleasant drinking. And at $25 I would buy it, if I could get hold of it. Ah there’s the rub…
Bill’s bottle does prove that, with judicious blending and ageing, making quality wines in the Okanagan is a possibility. Apparently Fairview sits on a golf course. Bill is most definitely hitting more birdies than bogeys. Bravo!
