🍕🍷 Pizza night with @township7 Interlude Red 2024 🍕🍷 Pizza night with @township7 Interlude Red 2024 — 91 Points. An easy-drinking blend with vibrant aromas of red berries and spice. Juicy red cherry and ripe strawberry flavours mingle with gentle spice, while soft tannins develop a light grip towards the juicy finish. A relaxed, fruit-forward red that paired nicely with tonight’s pizza. The blend takes an unusual turn: 42% Pinot Noir / 29% Cabernet Sauvignon / 20% Merlot / 9% Syrah. Crafted in Naramata from Washington and California grapes following the devastating 2024 Okanagan freeze, then aged for 18 months in French and American oak. Sometimes, all you need is good pizza and a glass of wine. 🍂 #Township7 #InterludeRed #BCWineTrends #PizzaAndWine #WinePairing
🍂 Four Reds for Autumn 🍷 As the days get shorter a 🍂 Four Reds for Autumn 🍷 As the days get shorter and the Okanagan settles into autumn, it’s time for the kind of wines that belong beside a warm kitchen, a harvest dinner, and something slowly roasting in the oven. I’ve been tasting the four new Township 7 2024 Interlude reds — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Interlude Red. The series was born from the devastating January 2024 freeze, when Township 7 sourced premium fruit from trusted growers in Washington and California, then brought it back to Naramata to make, age and bottle the wines in BC. 🍁 Interlude Cabernet Sauvignon — Full-bodied and dark, with black cherry, cassis and a touch of dark chocolate. Think ribeye or a charred burger on a crisp fall evening. 🍂 Interlude Merlot — Blackberry and black cherry with baking spice and earthy notes. A natural autumn match for mushroom risotto or grilled beef. Tech-sheet-Interlude-Merlot-2024 🔥 Interlude Syrah — Blueberry, blackberry, peppercorn and earthy notes, combining juicy Sonoma fruit with the darker, structured character of Washington Syrah. Bring on the ribs and fall comfort food. 🍒 Interlude Red — The easy-going member of the quartet: Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, with cherry, ripe strawberry, subtle spice and a juicy finish. Four very different reds, one unusual vintage — and all arriving at exactly the right time for autumn drinking. 🍁🍷 #BCWine #Township7 #Interlude #BCWineTrends #OkanaganWine #FallWine #AutumnWine #RedWine #WineAndFood #WineLovers
🍇 BC Wine Harvest 2026: An Early but Complicated V 🍇 BC Wine Harvest 2026: An Early but Complicated Vintage Harvest 2026 is moving fast across BC wine country — but it’s far from a uniform story. 🍇 Record-early picking at several Okanagan vineyards 🍷 Promising fruit from Kelowna to the Similkameen 🍇 Merlot is now coming in, while the late reds are still hanging 🔥 Serious smoke-related losses for some Summerland wineries 💰 Growing concerns about crop insurance and grapes looking for buyers From Tantalus finishing its earliest estate harvest ever to SpearHead deliberately waiting for more Pinot Noir ripeness, 2026 is shaping up as an early, promising — and remarkably uneven — vintage. 👉 Read our early look at the 2026 BC wine harvest — link in bio. #BCWine #BCWineTrends #Harvest2026 #OkanaganWine #OkanaganHarvest #SimilkameenWine #NaramataBench #CanadianWine
🦃🍷 Five BC wines to pour with Thanksgiving turkey 🦃🍷 Five BC wines to pour with Thanksgiving turkey Turkey may be delicate, but once you add stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and roasted vegetables, there’s a lot happening on the plate. Here are five recently tasted BC wines I’d happily put on the Thanksgiving table: 🥂 Lunessence 2025 ESV Brut Riesling — 92 Points Bright, lively and a great way to start the celebration. @lunessencewine 🍾 Lightning Rock 2024 Dry Lake Vineyard Chardonnay — 90 Points Beautiful texture and balance for turkey, stuffing and gravy. @lightningrockwinery 🍷 Stoneboat Reserve Pinot Noir 2023 — 91 Points Red fruit and earthy notes make Pinot Noir a classic partner for the whole Thanksgiving plate. @stoneboatvineyards 🌸 Seven Directions 2025 Estate Grenache Rosé — 93 Points At $42, this is the special-treat bottle — a serious Similkameen rosé for a special dinner. @bottegawinestudio 🍋 Monte Creek 2024 Living Land Riesling Organic — 90 Points Fresh, aromatic and $23.99 — an excellent choice when you need a few bottles around the table. @montecreekwinery And there’s no reason to choose only one. 🥂 Start with bubbles, pour white or rosé with the turkey, and have Pinot Noir ready for the red-wine crowd. Full story and tasting notes at BCWineTrends.com. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🍷 #BCWine #BCWineTrends #ThanksgivingWine #ThanksgivingDinner #WinePairing #OkanaganWine #SimilkameenWine #SummerlandStrong #BuyBC #DrinkBC
🍷 Three favourites from Lunessence Winery! 🌸 A rec 🍷 Three favourites from Lunessence Winery! 🌸 A recent visit to Lunessence on the Summerland Bench introduced us to five Estate Single Vineyard wines. Three particularly impressed us! 🥂 2025 ESV Brut Riesling | 92 Points | $29.99 Vibrant citrus, green apple and white blossoms, with delicate brioche notes and a wonderfully creamy mousse. A beautifully refreshing sparkling Riesling. 🌼 2025 ESV Field White | 92 Points | $26.99 An aromatic blend of Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Blanc. Bursting with passionfruit, mango, apricot and jasmine, balanced by refreshing acidity. Bronze medal winner at the 2026 National Wine Awards! 🍒 2023 ESV Pinot Noir | 92+ Points | $34.99 The first Pinot Noir from Lunessence’s young Giant’s Head vineyard. Elegant red cherry, raspberry, wild mushroom and forest floor, with silky tannins and a refined, Burgundian character. All three showcase the character of Lunessence’s organically farmed Summerland vineyards and the talents of winemaker Brandon Lawrence. Congratulations to Lunessence on winning three medals at the 2026 National Wine Awards of Canada! 🏅 #LunessenceWinery #BCWine #BCWineTrends #SummerlandWine #OkanaganWine #PinotNoir #Riesling #FieldWhite #CanadianWine #ExploreBCWine #SummerlandStrong @bottleneckdrive @lunessencewine
🍷 BLACK HILLS NOTA BENE 2024 | 94 POINTS A spectac 🍷 BLACK HILLS NOTA BENE 2024 | 94 POINTS A spectacular pairing of Black Hills Estate Winery’s 2024 Nota Bene Hiatus Collection with roast beef! This Bordeaux-style blend of 43% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Cabernet Franc brings together Walla Walla power and the elegance of Nota Bene. 🍇 Tasting Notes Enticing aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry, dried herbs, graphite and delicate floral notes. The palate is rich and layered, with cassis, ripe plum, espresso, dark chocolate and savoury earthy undertones. Initially firm tannins soften beautifully with air, revealing the distinctive mineral character of The Rocks District and a long, structured finish. Aged for 18 months in French oak, 44% new. Just 1,567 cases produced. 🥩 Food Pairing: Roast beef is a natural match for the wine’s concentrated dark fruit and structured tannins. Decant while young or cellar for the next 10–15 years. 🏅 94 POINTS | BCWineTrends #BlackHillsWinery #NotaBene #HiatusCollection #WallaWallaWine #TheRocksDistrict #BCWineTrends #RedWineLovers #WineAndFood #RoastBeef #BordeauxBlend #WineTasting #CanadianWineLovers @blackhillswinery @josephinenhutte
