A NNAPOLIS HIGHLANDS WINS AGAIN! A lovely Fall harvest event was

recently held at the Annapolis High-lands Winery when new wines were uncorked and sampled and admired. Spirits were not dampened by the rain:, the many visitors enjoyed the wines, the fantastic food, the art and the socializing.

This year, Annapolis Highlands Winery entered their first international compe-tition held in the Finger Lakes, NY. There were more than 5200 wines en-tered from 19 countries. their 2010 DeChaunac, 2010 Lucie Kuhlmann, 2010 Pinot Gris and 2010 Geisenheim Riesling, and won a medal for each one .... Silver's for the two reds and Bronze for the two whites. Owners Karen and Brendan Enright were exceptionally happy to know that theirs were two of very few 2010 reds entered into the competition and still won silver medals. Most of the reds entered were 2007 - 2009 vin-tages. Pretty cool for a little boutique winery from Bear River, NS!

U nfortunately, the organizers of Fall For Bear River did not deem

it important to include the local winer-ies in their celebrations of the grape harvest.
