🥂 Happy International Pinot Gris / Pinot Grigio Da 🥂 Happy International Pinot Gris / Pinot Grigio Day!

From crisp and citrusy to rich and textured, BC wineries continue to show just how versatile this grape can be. 🇨🇦✨

Today’s lineup features four standout expressions from across the Okanagan:

🥂 @chronoswine Pinot Gris
🥂 @hestercreekwinery Pinot Gris
🥂 @township7 Pinot Gris
🥂 @nobleridgewinery Pinot Grigio

Expect layers of pear, orchard fruit, citrus, floral aromatics, and refreshing acidity — perfect for spring patios, seafood dinners, and sunny weekend sipping.

BC Pinot Gris continues to evolve with more texture, precision, and regional personality every vintage. Which style do you prefer — richer Pinot Gris or zesty Pinot Grigio? 👇

🌸🍷 Rosé season has officially arrived in BC — and 🌸🍷 Rosé season has officially arrived in BC — and the 2025 releases are looking exceptional.

From crisp patio sippers to more textured, food-friendly styles, these four standout BC rosés each bring their own personality to the glass:

✨ @NobleRidge Rosé Duo 2025 — bright, refreshing, and beautifully balanced with wild strawberry, watermelon, and citrus notes. A perfect Okanagan patio wines.

✨ @evolvesparkling Rosé 2025 — vibrant and juicy with layers of raspberry, cherry, and fresh summer berries. Easy-drinking but polished.

✨ @BlueGrouse Rosé — a beautifully fresh still rosé from Vancouver Island showing delicate strawberry, pink grapefruit, floral notes, and vibrant coastal acidity.

✨ @bottegawinestudio Rosé 2025 — handcrafted and expressive with lifted floral aromatics, ripe red berries, and a textured palate that keeps you coming back for another sip.

🥂 BC rosé continues to get better every year — fresher, more refined, and made for long summer evenings on the patio.

Which one would you open first?

🍷 A New Chapter for an Iconic BC Red Blend The 20 🍷 A New Chapter for an Iconic BC Red Blend

The 2024 Nota Bene Hiatus Collection from @blackhillswinery is not just another vintage; it’s a story of resilience, reinvention, and remarkable craftsmanship.

After devastating winter damage across the South Okanagan, Head Winemaker Ryan McKibbon looked beyond the estate vineyards and sourced exceptional fruit from The Rocks District AVA in Walla Walla. The result? A bold yet beautifully composed Nota Bene that still carries the soul of the Okanagan.

Dark cherry, cassis, graphite, mocha, savoury herbs, and silky structure unfold layer after layer in the glass. Powerful, polished, and deeply expressive.

This is not a replacement for the original Nota Bene legacy,  it’s a fascinating evolution of it. 🍷

94 Points.

Available beginning June 12 through the winery and select wine club allocations.

🍷✨ Rhône-inspired elegance from the South Okanagan 🍷✨ Rhône-inspired elegance from the South Okanagan for only $34.99

The 2022 GSM from @hestercreekwinery is a beautifully balanced blend that captures both power and restraint. A sophisticated BC red built for the dinner table and the cellar.

🍒 Aromas of plum, dark cherry, and chocolate rise gracefully from the glass, while the palate unfolds with layers of ripe raspberry, plum, cherry, floral notes, and cracked pepper wrapped in silky fine-grained tannins.

The co-fermented Viognier adds lift and perfume, giving the wine an elegant Northern Rhône-inspired edge while still expressing warm South Okanagan fruit.

🥩 Perfect pairing: Rack of lamb, grilled rosemary beef, or mushroom risotto.

🍇 45% Grenache
🍇 38% Syrah (incl. 2% co-fermented Viognier)
🍇 17% Mourvèdre

A bold and beautifully styled Syrah sourced from the East Bench Vineyard and aged 24 months in 100% new American oak.
The aromatics rise from the glass with violets, exotic spice, black cherry, and ripe plum. Rich and fruit-forward on the palate, layers of blackberry, black plum, caramel, licorice, and cracked pepper unfold over silky tannins and a long savoury finish.
Powerful yet polished, this is a cellar-worthy BC Syrah built to evolve beautifully over time.
