What to Bring Back

Return to main article

Wine shipped across the border may be delayed by customs. Ask for Styrofoam shippers so bottles can be safely checked. Or drive across the border; tariffs are minimal. • CedarCreek's Estate Select Chardonnay 2004 ($19) isn't over-oaked, over-extracted, or over-anythinged. • Mission Hill Family Estate's S.L.C. Syrah 2002 ($36) has come of age in its fifth vintage and might be the valley's most polished bottle of red. • Sweet but not unctuous, Nk'Mip Cellar's Qwam Qwmt Riesling Ice Wine 2005 ($53) is a worthy sibling to the renowned bottles of Vincor Canada properties Inniskillin and Jackson-Triggs. • A superior example of this underappreciated grape, Quails' Gate Estate Winery's Limited Release Chenin Blanc 2004 ($17) has high-toned lemon flavors.
