🍷🥉 Bronze Medal Winner – WineAlign National Wine A 🍷🥉 Bronze Medal Winner – WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada A well-deserved congratulations to @nobleridgewinery on this outstanding 2025 Noble Rosé, a beautifully crafted 100% Cabernet Sauvignon rosé that delivers elegance, freshness and remarkable food versatility. This Bronze Medal winner opens with inviting aromas of red berries, pink grapefruit and citrus blossom, followed by a graceful palate with subtle Cabernet structure, vibrant acidity and a clean mineral finish. It was the perfect match for the seafood paella in today's photo, the wine's bright citrus notes and crisp acidity beautifully complemented the saffron, shrimp and shellfish while refreshing the palate with every bite. ⭐ 92 Points 🥂 2025 Noble Rosé 💲$25.99 | Winery & Online #NobleRidge #BCWine #BCWines #OkanaganWine #Rosé #RoseWine #WineAlign #WineAlignAwards #Paella #WinePairing #DrinkBC #BCWineTrends
🏅 Gold in the glass, and every sip shows why. The 🏅 Gold in the glass, and every sip shows why. The 2022 @township7 Reserve 7 has earned Gold at the 2026 National Wine Awards of Canada, and it's easy to see why. This Merlot-led Bordeaux blend is rich, polished and beautifully balanced, pairing perfectly with Indonesian pork tenderloin, rice pilaf and baked eggplant. Layers of black cherry, blackberry and ripe plum are wrapped in elegant notes of cedar, eucalyptus and subtle herbs, while velvety tannins and vibrant structure promise excellent cellaring. Powerful yet composed, this is one of Township 7's standout reds and a superb expression of the outstanding 2022 South Okanagan vintage. 🍷 93 Points | 🥇 WineAlign Gold Medal #BCWine #BCWineTrends #Township7 #Reserve7 #SouthOkanagan #OliverBC #Osoyoos #MerlotBlend #BordeauxBlend #WineAlign #GoldMedal #CanadianWine #WineLover #WineReview #FoodAndWine #WinePairing #SupportBCWine
🍷 2024 Plume Cabernet Sauvignon | @quailsgate Wine 🍷 2024 Plume Cabernet Sauvignon | @quailsgate Winery | $45 Some wines just seem made for mountain evenings. After a day enjoying everything the Columbia Valley has to offer, there's nothing better than firing up the Kamado Joe, grilling a great burger, and pouring a glass of Plume Cabernet Sauvignon on the cabin deck. Rich flavours of blackberry, cassis and blueberry are layered with hints of vanilla, cedar and clove. Full-bodied with polished tannins and a long, elegant finish, it's a Cabernet that pairs beautifully with a perfectly grilled burger and fresh mountain air. 92 Points. 🏔️ Great wine. Great food. Great company. That's what cabin weekends are all about. 🍔 Pairing: @kamadojoe burgers with aged cheddar and all the fixings. #BCWine #BCWineTrends #QuailsGate #Plume #CabernetSauvignon #CabinLife #MountainLife #KamadoJoe #BurgerNight #ColumbiaValley #Invermere #Kootenays #ExploreBC #WineLover #WineReels #GrillAndChill #SummerVibes #OkanaganWine #RedWine #WeekendEscape
🍷 Log Cabin views, mountain air and a glass of out 🍷 Log Cabin views, mountain air and a glass of outstanding Cabernet Franc. The 2024 @quailsgate Plume Cabernet Franc is the kind of wine that invites you to slow down and savour the moment. Enjoying this one on the deck at our cabin in Invermere, surrounded by the Rockies, was the perfect reminder that great wine tastes even better with a spectacular view. 🍇 Tasting Notes Fragrant aromas of black cherry, raspberry and violet lead into layers of ripe red berries, savoury roasted green pepper, fresh herbs and a touch of graphite. Silky, beautifully balanced and wonderfully food-friendly, with fine tannins, lively acidity and a long, elegant finish. 92 Points. 🍽️ Perfect with: Herb-roasted chicken, duck confit, pork tenderloin, eggplant Parmesan or ratatouille. Have you tried the new Plume wines yet? #BCWine #BCWineTrends #CabernetFranc #QuailsGate #PlumeWines #WashingtonWine #WineLover #WineReview #Invermere #Kootenay #ColumbiaValley #RockyMountainLife #CabinLife #ExploreBC #VancouverWine #VancouverFoodie
🧀🍷 Nacho night just found its perfect partner! 20 🧀🍷 Nacho night just found its perfect partner! 2025 @redroosterwine Pinot Gris 🐓 This bright, easy-drinking Pinot Gris opens with aromas of Ambrosia apple and ripe peach before layers of juicy pear, tropical pineapple and fresh lemon zest burst across the palate. Silky, refreshing and beautifully balanced, it's the kind of white you'll keep reaching for all summer. 90 Points. 🍐🍋 Pair it with a big plate of loaded nachos, wood-fired pizza, fish tacos, sushi or simply enjoy a chilled glass on the patio. It's a crowd-pleaser that proves great BC Pinot Gris doesn't need a special occasion. #RedRoosterWinery #PinotGris #BCWine #OkanaganWine #WineLover #WinePairing #NachoNight #SummerSipping #DrinkLocalBC #ExploreBCWine #WineWednesday #Kelowna #VancouverBC #VancouverFoodie #YVRFoodie #BCWineTrends
Four wines. Four vineyard stories. Four distinct p Four wines. Four vineyard stories. Four distinct personalities. 🍷🪶 When the 2024 BC harvest was devastated by winter freeze, @quailsgate looked south, but refused to compromise on quality. Winemaker Jeff Del Nin travelled thousands of kilometres across Washington State, tasting wines from every vineyard before committing to a single block of fruit. The result is a quartet of premium Plume reds crafted at Quails' Gate from exceptional Washington vineyards, including the famed Weinbau Vineyard, home to vines planted in the 1970s and '80s. 🍷 2024 Cabernet Franc ($45) Elegant and savoury with vibrant raspberry, tart cherry and black currant framed by spearmint, tomato leaf and fine-textured tannins. Fresh, lifted and wonderfully food-friendly. 🍷 2024 Merlot ($37) A rich, age-worthy Merlot layered with black cherry, violet, cedar and graphite. Silky on the palate with dark fruit, anise and herbs leading to a long, polished finish. 🍷 2024 Syrah ($40) Bold and expressive, offering blueberry, plum and cracked white pepper alongside smoked meat, cocoa and fresh cedar. Powerful yet beautifully balanced with lively acidity. 🍷 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon ($45) Classic Washington Cabernet bursting with blueberry, blackberry and cassis, accented by vanilla and clove. Full-bodied with refined tannins and a long, polished finish built for the cellar. These wines have just been released to Quails' Gate Wine Club members, with a public release to follow at the end of the month. Sometimes great wines aren't defined by borders, they're defined by exceptional vineyards and the dedication to seek them out. Quails' Gate's 2024 Plume collection is proof. Which bottle would you reach for first? 👇 #BCWine #BCWineTrends #QuailsGate #Plume #CabernetSauvignon #CabernetFranc #Merlot #Syrah #WashingtonWine #OkanaganWine #KelownaWine #VancouverWine #VancouverFoodie #YVRFoodie #VanFoodie #WineLovers #CanadianWine #RedWine #WineCollector #ExploreBCWine
