Bouchard Aine & Fils Pinot Noir (2011) - We served this wine at our wedding and had about 20 bottles leftover - it's definitely hard to forget a wine like that!

This is hard to say as it was such a long time ago. Since my first glass would have been with my mom, my best guess would be a Jackson Triggs Merlot, a staple in her home.

Recently I drank a Monteith's "Pinot Gris Lager" in New Zealand (a sparkling Lager blended with Marlborough Pinot Gris). That was definitely a pleasantly unusual wine experience.

Sandhill Pinot Blanc (2011) - This was a gift from my WineNotBC partner, Tiffany! Sometimes the best wines are ones that friends pick out for you.
