Meyer Family Vineyards tries to get political by filling bottles with grape juice from Anarchist Mountain. I wonder if they have thought this out. An anarchist thrives in anarchy. Wineries require order and method in making their wine. How is it then MFV can support disorder. I mean if they produced Baby Duck which by today’s standard might be considered anarchy but no their wines are well ordered and so good they are in the upper class of wine and anarchists are no friends of the upper class.
To augment this confusion wasn’t it Madonna that crooned “Let’s get physical”? But MFV wants to get political. They are probably Swifties as well.
Best to avoid any debate on this. Let the hot air and politics be restricted to The House of Commons in Ottawa.
Before we all lose the point we try a MFV 2022 Anarchist Mountain Dekleva Chardonnay. And who is Dekleva anyway? I think in Penticton he was once a Trotskyist? Anarchist Mountain Vineyard is the highest elevation vineyard in Osoyoos British Columbia at 518m. The vineyard was once home to Terry Meyer Stone and her partner Andrew Stone and yes we see the insidious connection to anarchy here as isn’t Terry Meyer Stone running Mayhem wines. Mayhem and anarchy what bed fellows!
Aroma: Apple, pear, butterscotch, cinnamon, and guava.
Palate: Quite mellow with some mighty fierce apricot and mango demonstrating at the edge of the wine. A longer finish than previously reviewed 2022 MFV Chardonnays.
Personality: Really folks there is no anarchy in me. I am ordered as a British Columbia Social Credit card carrier.
Food Match: Grilled free range chicken breast with mango salsa.
Reading Match: The Rebel (Albert Camus).
Jazz Match: Miles Davis.
Cellarbility: Needs a bit of time to flesh out in a cool cellar as opposed to in a Hamas tunnel. Oops more politics.
Price: $32.36 CDN. Euros and Yanks contact the winery to see if they can ship to you. MFV has promised me there will not be any explosives hidden in your shipment!
RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 91/100.

P.S. It is a slow night here in Toronto with a mere 6 shootings, 12 sexual assaults and 2 hit and runs so this embellished review has appeared. MFV are far from anarchists. Guess who owns that private Lear jet at the COSTCO parking lot in Kelowna…..Meyer Family Vineyards.
