Leslie, given the “controversy” over asparagus and wine, would you mind sharing the details on which BC wines?

I’ve actually had a couple of wines that went beautifully with asparagus. Both grown on Vancouver Island, right around the corner from the local asparagus farm no less! I noticed several of the local restaurants jumped on this pairing, as it’s certainly a notorioulsy difficult one.

Thanks, Mark. Evidently the experts don’t consider it a subjective topic, but rather one that conforms to a series of rules. And somewhat surprisingly the science of wine and food pairings is a new field of study. It only dates back about 15 years or so.

Great primer on what always seems to be a very subjective topic, Kerry.
