Talk about arriving for a wine tasting in style. Our dock on the Osoyoos lake a mere 200 yards from the tasting room has been welcoming visitors by air and water. #bcwine #okanagan #osoyoos #winecountry #floatplane

An avid biker, fisherman and beer enthusiast not to mention passionate about organic and sustainable viticulture practices, wade is basically a rockstar.

View from the office. Minus some minor damage from the cold winter (see patchy area in second picture), all is well and we are on track for another great harvest.

Cycle of life. Never easy to lose mature old vines

Cycle of life. Never easy to lose mature old vines. Bittercold winter of 18/19 took a few of our Sangiovese vines. It is challenging to grow grape varieties not best suited to Canadian winters, but we will not give up and continue to cultivate and care for Sangiovese for it brings soooooo much to our wines. Sangiovese helps with acid correction of our merlot/can blends, not to mention lowering the alcohol, adding complex bing cherry and floral notes and of course that wonderful rusticity and front of the palate tannins. All is not lost. Some secondaries are pushing and we may be able to save a few of them. The problem was not just Sangiovese. Many varieties in many of our colleagues vineyrds took some damage. Apricots too! There will be a definite shortage of Apricots this year. Our two very old mature trees have produced zero fruit this year. Last time this happened was the disaster oud winter of 08/09.

Look at that color! The perfect shade of pink with a hint of salmon. The juice is pretty amazing too. Ever so slightly off dry on the attack but progresses to a dry finish. Perfect balance of tart and ripe fruit. #springintheglass #bcwine #okanagan
