I did not see any Teletubbies there. I did not see a slender plastic tag clipped to an employee's shirt with a name printed on it. And I certainly did not see a little Asian child with a blank expression on his face sitting outside on a mechanical helicopter that shakes when you put quarters in it. This was an art gallery, my friend, and Liquidity was a piece of art.
My girlfriend and I were on vacation through Okanagan wine country. Over six days, we visited sixty wineries. You can follow our various locations with this disclaimer. That's sixty wineries, not an exaggeration. We ended the trip with 120 bottles acquired.
This is closer to what I expect from a winery.
An extended drive until the worry sets in you're about to drive into a Wes Craven cliché. Progressive art pieces begging for a photo against a picturesque landscape. An open-concept restaurant where your hands rest inches from a still-water feature. Liquidity is a destination, a place you detour to visit. It's itself as much a work of art as the pieces hanging on its walls. Yes, Liquidity also boasts an art gallery, connecting back to the paraphrased Unbreakable quote at the beginning of this review. After ogling and sampling, my girlfriend and I settled in for lunch, which obviously involved charcuterie...because that is just what everyone does on vacation apparently. It appears a standard practice--every restaurant in the Okanagan offers their variation. Perhaps there is a battle of charcuteries across the region--if so, this one may have won the trophy. It looked amazing and tasted to match. Even the server commented that he chef had outdone himself. Maybe he saw my camera...
It's just a damn shame the wine is only so-so. This was one of the few locations where we did not pick up a bottle. We didn't regret the visit, and enjoyed it more than some other wineries where we did buy wine. Liquidity is a destination winery, and of all the others in this area, this one's a necessity. You may enjoy the wine, but even if you don't, you'll relish in everything else.
