Wine joke of the month


Hi Joe, I can't remember the original name of the winery (hopefully Bill Spohn will see this and fill you in with the details) but when it changed ownership they changed the name and their look. The labels have made a big splash locally and personally I think have more to do with their popularity than what is in the bottle. I have only tasted a couple of their wines (the Merlot and one of the whites) and I would say they were average to just above average BC wines. Like many of the reds made in BC, I found the merlot relatively light and a little austere. I remember liking the white better. However they have only been Blasted Church for a few years, so I expect they will continue to get better like many of the other wineries in BC.

Wine storage suggestion needed
While I have a custom-built cellar, several friends have Eurocave and Vinotheque units. Both are attractive furniture-level units, and none has had any problem, whatsoever. You...

The labels are a blast though. I'm not sure who regulates labels in BC or elsewhere in Canada, but I don't recall there ever being an issue similar to what you sometimes see with the BATF (like the 1993 Mouton-Rothschild fiasco).

Tim O PS- sorry about the e-mail, hit the wrong button
