点评:Burrowing Owl Estate Winery has long been a favorite B.C. wine producer of mine.
Two of my longtime friends, who lived in Vancouver for two years, almost two decades ago, also became fans of this winery, while living in B.C.
They came out for a lightning visit to B.C. this June & it was immediately clear what fine wine we would be including in our wine drinking line -up to celebrate our joyous reunion.
Burrowing Owl of course.
And that we did with two delicious bottles, both with nice age on them, which gave these well-crafted wines additional depth & nuance.
Both its Chardonnay 2011 & its Sauvignon Blanc 2012 were sublime.
Burrowing Owl takes its name from this particular owl species, which the winery has long financially supported the conservation of.
All round Burrowing Owl is an outstanding example of what is produced in B.C.’s Okanagan valley, & of the mindful actions some of its wineries are associate with.
Burrowing Owl wines are on many a good wine list in fine eateries across B.C., as well as stocked by good private liquor stores across the province.
The carefully sourced Ucluelet Liquor Store in the west coast ocean village of Ucluelet, known to locals affectionately as “Ukee” is one such place.
Its aged 2011 Burrowing Owl Chardonnay is priced @ 89.60 $ & its Burrowing Owl Sauvignon Blanc is priced @ 75.95$.
I can highly recommend these Burrowing Owl wines for special reunions, & indeed for all special & joyous occasions.

翻译:穴鸮酒庄 (Burrowing Owl Estate Winery) 一直是我最钟爱的不列颠哥伦比亚省葡萄酒生产商之一。
我的两位老朋友,近二十年前在温哥华生活了两年,在不列颠哥伦比亚省居住期间也成了这家酒庄的粉丝。
今年六月,他们临时造访了不列颠哥伦比亚省,我们立刻就确定了要喝哪款美酒来庆祝我们欢聚的喜悦。
当然是穴鸮。
我们品尝了两瓶美味的葡萄酒,它们都陈年佳酿,赋予了这些精心酿造的葡萄酒更丰富的层次和细腻的口感。
2011年份的霞多丽和2012年份的长相思都堪称绝妙。
穴鸮酒庄的名字来源于一种特殊的猫头鹰物种,酒庄长期以来一直为保护这种猫头鹰提供资金支持。
Burrowing Owl 酒庄是 BC 省奥肯那根山谷出产的杰出代表,也是其部分酒庄践行环保理念的典范。
Burrowing Owl 葡萄酒不仅出现在 BC 省众多高级餐厅的酒单上,还在全省各地的优质私人酒类商店有售。
位于西海岸海滨小镇尤克卢利特 (Ucluelet) 的尤克卢利特酒庄 (Ucluelet Liquor Store) 就是这样一家精心采购葡萄酒的地方,当地人亲切地称其为“Ukee”。
其 2011 年陈酿 Burrowing Owl 霞多丽售价 89.60 美元,Burrowing Owl 长相思售价 75.95 美元。
我强烈推荐 Burrowing Owl 葡萄酒,适合特殊聚会,以及所有特殊和欢乐的场合。
