The Sipster's Wine Podcast
Hello Sipsters! Welcome to the newest podcast about a new way to experience wine. There will be no simplified point scores or effusive tasting notes – only experiences with wine.

Summer Flashback Clos du Soleil Vertical
Text us your wine questions, craziest wine experiences, or if you just have a comment for us. .
Clos du Soleil invited me to their annual vertical tasting in the fall of 2012 and I gladly attended this exclusive outdoor event. Listening back to it now, things seemed a little more innocent. Few people knew that any wines from BC could actually age and many wineries were on the hook to prove it. Clos du Soleil was one of the first wineries to really stick their neck out to prove that it could be done and this is the result.
Disclaimer: I used to work for Clos du Soleil but a few years after this recording was made. Part of my job was organizing these vertical tastings, which I did in 2016 and 2017, when the vertical featured 10 full years of the Capella and Signature. That event, brilliantly catered by the late Natasha Schooten, is easily on the top of my top 5 list of the most amazing tasting experiences I have ever had and will never, ever forget.
