Leading the tasting is
Sandra Oldfield
Winemaker at Tinhorn Creek Estate Winery, 
Oliver, B.C.
Sandra holds a Masters of Food Science, Enology from the University of California at Davis. Her thesis work was done in conjunction with the Robert Mondavi Winery. She has also worked in Quality Control at Rodney Strong Vineyards and at Piper Sonoma Vineyards in California.

Merlot wines are almost always softer, rounder and more supple than Cabernet Sauvignon in their youth, yet retain much of the latter’s tendencies toward richness and complexity.
