🍔🍷 Burger night, but make it BC wine country with 🍔🍷 Burger night, but make it BC wine country with @bottegawinestudio 

The K-Little Vintners Cabernet Franc 2022 brings serious character to the table — dark cherry, cassis, savoury herbs, and just enough spice to elevate a juicy homemade burger.

This is the kind of Cabernet Franc that reminds you why the varietal shines in BC: vibrant fruit, fresh acidity, and enough structure to stand up to grilled beef without overpowering the food.

The smoky char from the burger, tangy pickles, and ripe tomato work beautifully with the wine’s earthy undertones and polished tannins. Casual pairing… premium result. 🔥🍔

🇨🇦 BC Cabernet Franc continues to quietly overdeliver.

🌸🍊 Paella night just found its perfect BC wine pai 🌸🍊 Paella night just found its perfect BC wine pairing.

The return of Viognier at @bottegawinestudio was worth the wait. After an eight-year absence, the 2025 Bottega Viognier arrives with remarkable texture, floral lift, and a polished old-world feel that shines alongside saffron-rich seafood and chicken paella. 🥘✨

Crafted from low-yielding vineyards in both the Similkameen and Okanagan Valleys, this small-production Viognier was hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, and aged on lees with monthly bâtonnage to build depth and complexity. Only 780 bottles produced.

🍑 Tasting Notes
Lifted aromatics of tangerine blossom, honeysuckle, ripe peach, and exotic fruit lead into a beautifully textured palate layered with apricot, mandarin orange, kiwi, and tropical fruit. A subtle hazelnut note and creamy lees texture give the wine an almost Chardonnay-like richness, while Similkameen minerality and fresh acidity keep everything vibrant and food-friendly.

Elegant, expressive, and dangerously easy to pour another glass.

A Provence-inspired Rosé with serious Similkameen A Provence-inspired Rosé with serious Similkameen soul. 🌸🍊🍓

The 2025 Seven Directions Pinot Noir Rosé from @bottegawinestudio is one of the most elegant BC Rosés I’ve tasted this spring.

Crafted from Pinot Noir sourced across the rugged Similkameen Valley and Bottega’s own 3.5-acre Solum Rosa Estate Vineyard, this small-lot Rosé was given just two hours of skin contact before partial French oak fermentation and extended lees aging.

The result? A beautifully textural Rosé bursting with orange blossom, rose petals, jasmine, wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, and fresh orange zest. Creamy, polished, and incredibly persistent on the finish.

Delicate pale salmon in colour and dangerously easy to drink — this is the kind of bottle that disappears before sunset. 🌅
