Well.. Jackson Trigg is not bad.  Some of them are pretty good.  You can look for comments and ratings online.   And as local wine, it is top 10 winery.  

Anyway, it's label looks high-end. LOL  and way better than yellow tail.

Personally I prefer Mission Hill...

BTW, merlot & chardonnay are a pretty safe combo for banquet - good for steak and poultry. Chardonnay "may" be a bit too sour for seafood, but certainly depends on what sause/taste the receipt is. Ususally serving with fish has no problem.

I have tried couple of the regular Jackson Triggs white wine, for some reasons several hours after I drank my finger joints turned numb and red, I thought it has to do with some sort of allergy (sulphide??)...  I do have the same problem with some white wines, but for Mission Hill and some small wineries (eg. Sawmill Creek), so far so good, nothing happens...

BTW, I don't think any Canadian red or white wines should worth more than $100 mostly because they are not capable for aging (most parts associated with the tanin content), do you agree? For that price tag, I have a wide selections around the world...

yaa,  i usually only buy Canadian wine less than 50.  except ice wine.
But that Mission Hill signature wine worths it.   it is called Oculus.  You can't find it in BC Liquor store.

Last time I got an Oculus.. It was around $80. I gave it as a gift to my friend in HK.
Well, I guess you can sell a lot of things for a big tag in China....
Personally, for that $, I would rather drink something French, Italian or Spanish...
