Oliver Block White: This blended white consists of mainly Chardonnay, but also has some Pinot Gris, Semillon, and a little Viognier. The chardonnay sort of bites you with some nice oak. To some the oak is a little too much, but I'm developing a taste for oaky wines these days so I liked it.
Oliver Block Red: The blend in this wine is mostly Merlot, but also has some Syrah, as well as some Cabernet
Sauvignon. It had a lot of berry fruit on the nose, but on the palette was too tannic for my liking.Both of these wines are very young and would benefit from a little more time in the bottle. The tannins in the red might soften up a bit over time.
Rob and I are back in Vancouver and extremely happy to be here. We miss our wonderful friends in Saskatchewan and hope they get down here this summer. The wedding is creeping up slowly and we've just selected the wines for the wedding. I will save that for another post.

Your blog is looking good Andypants, nice work. Who knew you were such a smart one (I mean besides your ass). Well, I did, but things look even 'smarter' in writing, on an impressive looking webpage on the interweb. Point being, you actually write very well. You sound all expert-like too. To be honest it's.. a little wierd.
kind of like your face.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. So, the wedding is getting really really ridiculously close now! Are you freaking out yet? It sucks that I won't be there. It just seems wrong. But try to have fun anyway.. ;)
I can't wait to see the pictures and everything at least. You must be getting so excited. Keep me in the loop alright. Tell me how the shower went. Come on, share with the class.
Oh yeah and I have a blog too, so come visit.
