WineScores' Review


The Gidda family is the largest holder of family-owned vineyards in the Okanagan Valley, and they have been growing grapes for 40 years.
A ripe style, leaning to the sweeter side this concentrated Pinot Gris is undoubtedly good value. It is fragrant with creamy pears, citrus blossoms, guava, lime and wild honey. The palate follows suit - It is weighty on the palate with loads of citrus and concentrated fruit followed with a mouth-watering spicy and zesty finish.
One caveat, the 14.4% alc makes it a bit hot on the finish.
Recommended pairings with poached salmon, hearty root vegetable dishes or mushroom risotto.

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”.
