We asked a dozen-plus of the city's top sommeliers to share their picks with us for some very specific scenarios...including wowing deep-pocketed friends.
You’re invited to a wine club where all the deep-pocketed members spend lavishly on Bordeaux and California. They’re having a blind tasting of cabs—what bottle of wine do you bring to blow them away…for under $60?
One of the best vintages ever.—Jill Spoor, Fairmont
Great Cali cab sauv.—Sebastien LeGoff, Cactus Club
The fact that it is from B.C. and can go head-to-head with Bordeaux and Napa will make their heads explode.—Shane Taylor, CinCin
Not cab, but Tuscany is reliably always the best ringer to offer the intensity and depth to knock some socks off.—Jason Yamasaki, JOEY
When we did the fourth annual Judgement of B.C. in October, it beat out some very pricey Napa wines in the blind tasting. If I were feeling particularly brazen, I might even sneak in a bottle of our Chambar x Laughing Stock Project Cabernet Franc, which is technically still a “cab,” right?—Kelcie Jones, Chambar
This will a) stump all possible guesses, and b) astound with deliciousness. Rich, intense and impressively well made—for this estate and for Chinese wine in general.—Kieren Fanning, Pepino’s
A Bordeaux blend grown in the Okanagan’s acclaimed Golden Mile region. This will blow them away with power and finesse—and it’s from our own backyard.—Mirielle Sauvé, Wine Umbrella
