Best Buy! Kerner, a German cross of Riesling and Trollinger, has a legacy at two historic British Columbia wineries that Roger Wong worked at — Gray Monk and Tinhorn Creek — and it takes a significant role in this blend with Riesling and Gewürztraminer and Muscat Canelli. For the fourth time, Wong earned a Platinum with his Social program, and the conversation begins with notes of lavender, vanilla bean and fresh linen. Flavors of tangerine, honeycomb and lemon rind come together on a bouncy palate with a refined effervescent finish that shows itself as a touch more dry than Wong’s I Do Rosé sparkling.
