Winery Spotlight #7- See Ya Later Ranch



See you later ranch
-Story: Another Vincor property, named as such because when the man retired and bought a vineyard in the okanagan, his wife left him a note that said see you later, and never returned. He bought lots of dogs to make up for the loss, hence the dog friendly winery(it has both a parking lot and a barking lot for dogs) and the dogs on their wine labels. Also, some of the wines are named after the dogs. Definitely gets some points for style, as the property itself is quite out of the way but has clearly had some good money put into it. Also gets points because our taster guy had just come back from working in Ottawa.
Wines:
Gewurz -most true to the gewurz style that we've tried, the first wine we bought on our trip, and which we recently enjoyed in the yukon with a wicked meal.
SYL brut-really nice sparkling for it’s price point
Pinot 3- made from three pinot grapes(noir, gris and meunier) and a pretty delightful wine to sip on.
Semillon- Not a massive fan, but the Oak content was perfect for me, not too woody at all but with all the nice notes of vanilla and such.

We tried one more from this winery, but I can't seem to find where I wrote it down, so you can all suffer in the knowledge that I'm not sharing my full experience with you.
