🎉🥂 80 years young and still making memories worth 🎉🥂 80 years young and still making memories worth toasting.

A birthday dinner that brought together a few of my favourite things: great wine, great food, and great company.

We started with @drinkriverstone Stone Albariño paired with olives and Portuguese-inspired sardine bruschetta — a reminder of the incredible flavours and memories from our recent trip to Portugal. 🇵🇹🍷

The main event was herb-crusted rack of lamb with crispy baked potatoes, perfectly matched with the River Stone 2022 Small Lot Merlot. Rich, elegant, and a wonderful pairing for a special occasion.

And to finish? A glass of 25-Year-Old @janneau_armagnac — smooth, complex, and the perfect way to celebrate eight decades of adventures, friendships, travel, family, and gratitude.

Here's to good neighbours, good wine, and making every year count. 🥂

Good Neighbours Series

A fascinating cross-border blend bringing together Sauvignon Blanc from Washington's Yakima Valley and River Stone's returning estate fruit from Boulder City Vineyard in Oliver.

Bright aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and delicate florals lead into flavours of crisp green apple, pink grapefruit, lime, honeydew melon and passionfruit. A silky texture, flinty minerality and vibrant acidity carry through to a long, refreshing finish.

Paired perfectly with pan-fried lingcod, this is a Sauvignon Blanc that balances New World fruit intensity with Okanagan freshness and precision.

🍋🍈🍏 Fresh, vibrant and beautifully layered.

🥂 @drinkriverstone Chenin Blanc 2025 🥂 One of the 🥂 @drinkriverstone Chenin Blanc 2025 🥂

One of the most intriguing wines in River Stone's Good Neighbours Series, this Chenin Blanc showcases why the variety continues to win over wine lovers worldwide.

Sourced from Washington State's Ancient Lakes AVA, the wine opens with fragrant aromas of stone fruit and delicate rose petals. On the palate, layers of Mandarin orange, passion fruit and ripe peach unfold across a rich, textured mouthfeel, while vibrant acidity keeps everything fresh and beautifully balanced.

At just 11.9% alcohol, it's an elegant, food-friendly white that bridges the gap between Loire Valley inspiration and New World fruit expression.

Good Neighbours Series

A refreshing summer white crafted from fruit sourced in Washington's Yakima Valley AVA, bringing together bright fruit expression and effortless drinkability.

Aromas of crisp green apple, lemon zest and delicate florals are complemented by a hint of honeyed richness. The palate delivers juicy tropical fruit, ripe Anjou pear and subtle mineral notes, all supported by lively acidity and a clean, lingering finish.

The wine paired beautifully with ravioli, its freshness balancing the dish's richness while enhancing its delicate flavours.

Bright, fruit-forward and beautifully balanced, this is a patio-friendly Pinot Gris made for relaxed summer entertaining.

🍷 @drinkriverstone Splash White Blend 2025 🍷 Some 🍷 @drinkriverstone Splash White Blend 2025 🍷

Sometimes the best summer wines are the ones that don't take themselves too seriously.

River Stone's Splash White Blend 2025 brings together Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño and Chenin Blanc in a vibrant, fruit-forward blend that practically begs to be enjoyed on a sunny patio.

Aromas of apricot, mango and nectarine leap from the glass, followed by flavours of ripe apple, Mandarin orange and Key lime. A touch of residual sweetness balances the lively acidity, while subtle mineral notes add texture and a hint of creaminess to the finish.

Part of River Stone's final Good Neighbours Series, this wine blends fruit from Washington's Yakima Valley and Ancient Lakes AVAs with estate-grown fruit from Boulder City Vineyard in Oliver.

Refreshing, approachable and made for summer sipping.
