Painted Rock-
Story- Painted rock is one winery I would never have found without some trusty help of the restaurant business. One of my friends in Vancouver is doing his schooling in wines and certain has a base of knowledge about them. He was happy to recommend a couple wineries, painted rock among them. We visited, it was a shack, albeit a nice one. They are currently building what I’m certain is to be a beautiful building. For now, the shack. They have an enomatic wine machine to keep their bottles as long as possible, and good air conditioning on a sweltering day. When we got there, a couple guys from Icon wines were there. We'd seen their reviews published in a couple wineries, so chatted them up for some recommendations. Some of the wineries we were already visiting, others not, so it was a good resource to have.
Wines-
Chardonnay- Quite an enjoyable wine, but not really my style. At this point though, I quite enjoyed it.
Merlot- Our favorite from the winery, and the 2nd wine we purchased.
Red Icon- their only blend, a pretty nice and enjoyable red, not too heavy in the mouth, but just enough that you know it's a powerful wine. Seriously, this is what I wrote down.
Syrah- Can't recall this one, all I know is that we tried it. Judging by the winemaker's standard, I'd say it's pretty awesome. This was one of the higher end wineries we chose to visit, and it was a really good experience.
