WineScores' Review


Riesling is a love of winemaker Roger Wong's and it is a variety he feels is extremely well suited to the Okanagan Valley.
It's a consistenly delicious style with lime and stonefruit, exotic flowers, chamomile tea and mineral with a layer of beeswax on the nose. The palate is crisp and tangy with fierce acidity and a slick texture. There is a bit more restraint than last vintage but its racy style will have your mouth watering for more.
A wine for pork or turkey, coconut curry, lemon aioli or sushi.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
