When dynamic women get together dynamite things happen, but when dynamic women and wine combine, the results are stunning! Sommelier Mireille Sauvé recently capitalized on the local abundance of female talent in BC’s wine industry (#girlpower), and launched the province’s newest wines; Dames White 2015 and Dames Red 2013, with 100% of the profit going to fund women’s education in the fields of food and drink.
The 2015 Dames White is a dry, aromatic blend of 80% Pinot Blanc, 10% Riesling and 10% Gewurztraminer. Light-bodied with a lively acidity, it pairs best with shellfish and seafood, especially sushi. The 2013 Dames Red is an organic blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Syrah and is a luscious, fruit-forward wine, with flavours of plum and toasty vanilla that complement a good charcuterie and cheese board. Both wines are made exclusively from Okanagan Valley fruit and were produced at Meyer Family Vineyards as a custom crush, with Mireille Sauvé as Winemaker and a women-only team.
Wines are available at top restaurants and private liquor stores around British Columbia and online by the case on the Dames Wine website.
