In the fall, I always excitedly anticipate harvest and also eagerily await the release of the new vintages of Prospect wines... This fall, Winemaker Wade Stark released both whites and reds - all of which are delicious I am sure! However don't take it from me, or even Wade - pick up a bottle and try them yourself. What wines are they you ask?!? Well, I thought you may be wondering, so take a listen to Wade and hear for yourself on his very own youtube video!
The Ganton and Larsen Prospect Winery is a tribute to the Okanagan Valley’s rich and colourful history, geography and incredible wines.
The wines pay homage to the Ganton and Larsen families; original and longstanding land-owning partners of the winery. The grapes are sourced from vineyards all across the Okanagan Valley, allowing for diversity, consistency and distinctiveness. Each varietal features a gem; a historical place, figure, animal or item from the Okanagan Valley, commemorated by original artwork from local Okanagan artists.

Fats Johnson Pinot Noir... a winner every time!
Today I opened my new Vines magazine with anticipation as the new Intervin competition "Best Buys" results were revealed. Intervin was just established this year as a international wine competition with prominent Canadian Wine Writers, Winemakers, and Sommeliers as the judging panel. With trepidation I opened my magazine to find a picture of a bottle of Fats Johnson Pinot Noir 2007! Quickly I searched for the review and was thrilled to read:
2007 Fats Johnson Pinot Noir Okanagan Valley
Ripe cherry/raspberry fruit mixes with vanilla, smoke and earthy notes in this surprising Okanagan Valley Pinot Noir. Judges were quick to praise its Pinot-like character, which isn't something you'll often hear about sub-$20 Pinot Noir.
This wine continues to win an outstanding awards and receive great reviews as a phenomenal quality yet value-priced wine. To celebrate this win, I think I will need to open up a bottle tonight to celebrate. Congratulations to our Winemaker Wade Stark.
