We’re heading to Vancouver and the Lower Mainland of BC over the next couple weeks to debut our new RED SKY release. The 2013 RED SKY rosé is the big news – a fresh and lively addition to your patio or festive table and, of course, 100% Pinot Noir. We’ll also have our Altostratus and Fleuvage on hand and you will have an opportunity to taste these 2010 vintages just to see how each evolves in the bottle and to explore the vintage characteristics.

The rapid growth for BC winery Black Cloud is cause for celebration in this new year – and the reason for the announcement of a new partnership with Mondiale Fine Beverage Ltd., a Vancouver-based wine agency.
“We love being in the community and interacting with our customers and sales partners but there’s only two of us – to be effective in the marketplace we’ve opted to join forces with the experts at Mondiale,” said Audralee Daum, Black Cloud owner and chief financial officer, “Paul Jordan and his team have proven capabilities in wine sales and they ‘get’ what we’re doing as we reach for excellence in each vintage.”
The Vancouver International Wine Festival provided the backdrop for our 2nd annual POP-up Pinot Noir tasting last Saturday and the buzz inside the suite at the Hotel LeSoleil matched the general wine vibe in the city all week.
We set out an array of Pinot Noirs from the past, present and future releases to a small but appreciative crowd. Featured during the tasting:
2012 Rose (unreleased, tank sample)
2006 Fleuvage
2008 Altostratus
2009 Altostratus
2010 Altostratus (unreleased)
2010 Fleuvage
2011 Altostratus (barrel sample)
2012 Altostratus (barrel sample)
Only about 20 cases of the 2012 Rose were made and these will be available to the Cloudy Day club members first as an add on to the regular subscription chosen. It’s crisp and clean with a nose of raspberry and rose petals with a light cherry palate. A great spring and summer accompaniment to any patio experience.
Be sure to read this blog for the next event featuring our Pinot Noirs.
Every once in a while we like to feature one of our retail partners. We don’t blanket every area by trying to be in every store. Instead we like to choose shops that specialize in wine and take the time to work with their customers to guarantee they get the wine experience they’re looking for.
Broadway Wine (originally Broadway International) is that kind of store. They’ve been selling Black Cloud since we started almost 5 years ago. They’re the embodiment of a good neighbourhood wine store. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable.
The store has a somewhat unique license that allows them to have wine only, but includes import and domestic selections. The result is an eclectic mix of difficult-to-find wines that are far from the ordinary.
