🍷 Gamay Noir & Butter Chicken — An Unexpectedly De 🍷 Gamay Noir & Butter Chicken — An Unexpectedly Delicious Pairing! 🍛 @montecreekwinery Living Land Gamay Noir 2025 from the Similkameen Valley proved to be a fantastic match with homemade butter chicken! 🍒 Vibrant aromas of red cherry, cranberry and raspberry lead to juicy dark berry flavours, soft, silky tannins and a subtle mineral finish. The magic was in the pairing! The Gamay's bright fruit complemented the creamy tomato sauce, while its refreshing acidity balanced the richness and aromatic Indian spices. A great reminder that lighter-style reds can shine with Indian cuisine! ⭐ 91 Points | $29.99 | Certified Organic 🍇 Aged nine months in concrete and French oak. Have you tried Gamay with Indian food? #MonteCreekWinery #BCWine #BCWineTrends #GamayNoir #SimilkameenValley #BCVQA #OrganicWine #WinePairing #ButterChicken #CanadianWine #WineLovers
🍷 Gray Monk Odyssey Pinot Noir 2022 | 92 POINTS ⭐ 🍷 Gray Monk Odyssey Pinot Noir 2022 | 92 POINTS ⭐ Okanagan elegance meets Moroccan spice! 🇨🇦 Tonight's pairing: Moroccan-spiced roast lamb with @graymonkwinery Odyssey Pinot Noir 2022. 🍷🍖 Sourced from 20-year-old vines in South Kelowna and aged for 18 months in French oak, this elegant Pinot Noir delivers ripe red cherry, red plum and warm baking spice, with a silky texture and fine, powdery tannins. Hints of cranberry, pomegranate and earthy spice linger on the graceful finish. The wine's bright acidity and delicate spice complement the aromatic Moroccan seasonings, while its silky tannins balance the richness of the lamb. 🏅 92 POINTS – BC Wine Trends 🍇 Okanagan Valley | BC VQA 🍷 13.1% alcohol | 18 months French oak A delicious reminder that Pinot Noir can be a wonderful partner for boldly seasoned lamb! #GrayMonkWinery #OdysseyPinotNoir #BCWine #BCWineTrends #OkanaganWine #PinotNoir #MoroccanLamb #WinePairing #BCVQA #CanadianWine @josephinenhutte
🍷 50-Year-Old Vines, One Exceptional Pinot Gris! 🍷 50-Year-Old Vines, One Exceptional Pinot Gris! Some of BC's oldest Pinot Gris vines still produce remarkable wines at @graymonkwinery in Lake Country! 🍇 🥂 2025 Gray Monk Odyssey Pinot Gris – $35 Hand-harvested from estate vineyards with vines approaching 50 years of age, this premium Pinot Gris celebrates Gray Monk's remarkable vineyard heritage. A combination of stainless steel and French oak aging, along with gentle lees stirring, adds texture and complexity while preserving the wine's fresh fruit character. 🍐 My Tasting Notes: Subtle aromas of ripe stone fruit and white blossoms lead to restrained flavours of crisp Granny Smith apple, honeydew melon and a hint of tropical fruit. Medium-light-bodied, dry and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. ⭐ 92 Points – BC Wine Trends 🏅 An Award-Winning Legacy: The 2021 Odyssey Pinot Gris earned Gold at the National Wine Awards of Canada and the Best Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio Trophy at the 2022 Global Fine Wine Challenge! 🍽️ Perfect Pairings: Pan-seared steelhead trout with lemon-butter sauce, poached salmon, creamy seafood pasta or soft cheeses. 📍 BC VQA Lake Country 🍾 Only 900 cases produced 🥂 11.7% alcohol A lovely example of how mature vines and thoughtful winemaking can create an elegant, expressive Okanagan Pinot Gris.

🍂🍷 Four Organic Wines, Two BC Wine Regions, One Ex 🍂🍷 Four Organic Wines, Two BC Wine Regions, One Exciting Vintage! We're exploring four new 2025 Living Land releases from @montecreekwinery near Kamloops. From the cooler Thompson Valley to the warmer Similkameen, these wines showcase the diversity of BC's growing regions. 🥂 2025 Living Land Chardonnay Organic – $26.99 Grown in the Thompson Valley, where cooler nights and extended hang time help preserve freshness and balance. A lovely choice for autumn seafood or roast chicken. 🍐 2025 Living Land Grüner Veltliner Organic – $26.99 From Monte Creek's Keremeos vineyard, this Austrian varietal offers enticing aromas of pear, Golden Delicious apple and peach. Fresh orchard fruit and grapefruit pith meet a rounded texture from neutral French oak aging. An intriguing alternative to Chardonnay! 🍒 2025 Living Land Gamay Noir Organic – $29.99 Bright cherry, cranberry and raspberry aromas lead to ripe dark fruit, baking spice and a touch of white pepper. Nine months of aging in concrete and French oak adds complexity while preserving the vibrant fruit character. Perfect for an autumn charcuterie board! 🍷 2025 Living Land Pinot Noir Organic – $29.99 Another Similkameen Valley beauty! Expressive cherry and cherry cola notes mingle with hints of anise and graphite. Nine months in French oak brings savoury depth to this elegant red. Try it with roasted mushrooms or duck. 🍇 The 2025 vintage was a whirlwind at Monte Creek, with harvest beginning August 29. The contrast between the two growing regions is fascinating: intense fruit from the Similkameen and freshness and balance from the Thompson Valley. Four distinctive wines that celebrate BC's organic vineyards and the versatility of the 2025 harvest. Which would you pour first: Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Gamay or Pinot Noir? 🍷 #MonteCreekWinery #BCWine #BCWineTrends #OrganicWine #ThompsonValley #SimilkameenValley #Chardonnay #GrunerVeltliner #GamayNoir #PinotNoir #SupportBCWine
🍇 GRAY MONK: THE OKANAGAN’S PINOT GRIS KING! 🍷 Tw 🍇 GRAY MONK: THE OKANAGAN’S PINOT GRIS KING! 🍷 Two exceptional Pinots. Two different expressions of the Okanagan. One remarkable winery heritage! 🥂 Gray Monk Odyssey Pinot Gris 2025 Crafted from estate vines approximately 50 years old, among BC’s oldest Pinot Gris plantings! Delicate copper hues, ripe stone fruit, white florals and subtle spice. Partial French oak aging and lees stirring create a creamy texture balanced by refreshing acidity. 🍷 Gray Monk Odyssey Pinot Noir 2022 From mature South Kelowna vineyards and aged 18 months in French oak. Elegant red cherry, red currant, earthy notes and baking spice, with silky tannins and a long, refined finish. 🌿 Gray Monk helped pioneer Pinot Gris in Canada when George and Trudy Heiss imported vines from Alsace in 1976. Nearly 50 years later, that pioneering spirit lives on in the Odyssey collection! 📖 Discover the vineyard stories, winemaking details, tasting notes and food pairings in our latest article. 🔗 Read more at BCWineTrends.com — link in bio. #GrayMonk #GrayMonkWinery #OdysseyWines #PinotGris #PinotNoir #BCWine #BCWineTrends #OkanaganWine #LakeCountryBC #ExploreBCWine #CanadianWine #WineLovers @townhallbrands @graymonkwinery
🥂 @nobleridgewinery The Pink One Sparkling Rosé 20 🥂 @nobleridgewinery The Pink One Sparkling Rosé 2022 | $45 | 92 Points Delicate in colour, deliciously expressive in the glass. 💗 This traditional-method sparkling rosé is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grown at Noble Ridge’s Home Vineyard in Okanagan Falls. Just four hours of skin contact create its pale salmon hue, while 31 months en tirage bring texture and complexity. A fine, persistent mousse lifts aromas of citrus, strawberry, rose petals and a hint of hazelnut. Cherry, raspberry and baked pear unfold on the palate, layered with subtle brioche. Creamy yet crisp, with a dry, graceful finish that invites another sip. 🦪 Pair with fresh oysters, smoked salmon or seafood canapés—or simply enjoy as an elegant start to the evening. Only 220 cases produced. 92 Points. #BCWineTrends #NobleRidge #ThePinkOne #SparklingRose #BCWine #OkanaganFalls #OkanaganWine #CanadianWine #TraditionalMethod #WinePairing @josephinenhutte
