The thing I love about wine is that people are VERY generous. I don't know when I'll have opportunity to go to Canada, but if I am ever in the area I'll be sure to let you know! Slovenia! I've heard a lot about its wines but I've sort of been in a "consolidation" mode lately--I want to explore France in detail before moving on systematically to other countries. That being said, I don't "really" have a system at all, so I'll look out for a bottle from Slovenia--or northeastern Italy--next time I'm at the shop! Shea,

Your post suggests to me you may also like the chardonnays and pinot gris of northeastern Italy and southweastern Slovenia. I particularly recommend anything made by Movia. And, speaking of bracing minerals and acid if you ever get the chance to try Didier Dagueneau's wines from Pouilly Fume I highly recommend them. They are otherworldy. And, since Dagueneau died in Sept. 2008, the recently released 2007 vintage is the last he made. If you ever visit Vancouver, BC I'll share a bottle with you :).
