Blasted Church - Mixed Blessing

BLASTED CHURCH MIXED BLESSINGS 2008

The latest bottle from Blasted Church Winery is "Mixed Blessings" - a combo of white varietals.

Like all Blasted Church label art before it, this one too is loaded with whimsy and suspicious local references. Obviously we are endorsing inter-racial marriage here, but who is being married to whom? Comments from the wine wags include:

"The bridesmaid looks shifty, the groom looks guilty, who's been stomping on who's crush pad?"
"It's a country wedding and they are all first cousins."
"That's what comes from Social Media dating."
"Actually, it's a double wedding and the two dudes are tying the knot, likewise the two women."

Oh, whatever....

Here's the expert tasting notes from our wine guy in the Okanagan, Jay Drysdale:

Citrus, tangerine and grass envelope your senses as hints of toast and green olive round off the flavours.  A very smooth and polished mouth feel open up to apple and peach flavours with a very soft apple skin finish.  This wine has put on the stilettos and is looking to get lucky.  An eclectic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and a touch of Ehrenfelser.  A great wine that delivers more than you would expect.
