🍷🍝 Lasagna night calls for a red with Character! 🍷🍝 Lasagna night calls for a red with Character! Hester Creek Character Red 2025 is a delicious match for hearty homemade lasagna. This South Okanagan five-variety blend brings together Petit Verdot, Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Hester Creek's distinctive Italian Merlot. 🫐 Aromas of blueberry, vanilla and cloves lead to rich flavours of black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with smooth tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The juicy fruit and gentle spice pair beautifully with layers of pasta, rich tomato sauce and melted cheese. 😋 ⭐ 91 Points | BCWineTrends 🍷 @hestercreekwinery #BCWine #HesterCreek #CharacterRed #BCWineTrends #OkanaganWine #WineAndFood #LasagnaNight #CanadianWine
🍷🥩 Monte Creek Living Land Pinot Noir 2025 & Grass 🍷🥩 Monte Creek Living Land Pinot Noir 2025 & Grass-Fed NY Strip Steak! A delicious pairing of Similkameen Pinot Noir and a juicy, grass-fed New York strip steak! 🍇 100% Similkameen Valley | Organic | $29.99 This youthful Pinot Noir opens with enticing aromas of ripe red cherry and fresh raspberry. Juicy cherry flavours mingle with delicate baking spice and subtle graphite minerality. Silky tannins and a refreshing, elegant finish make this a lovely food-friendly red. A little decanting brings out its developing character. ⭐ 91+ Points — BCWineTrends A beautifully balanced Pinot Noir that stood up surprisingly well to the rich, savoury flavours of the steak.

Ripe blackberry and vanilla fill the lush palate—a versatile red for comforting fall meals. 2025 Select Vineyards Merlot Vanilla bean, cocoa and roasted fennel and thyme introduce flavours of blackberry, mulberry and dark chocolate. Polished tannins and a lingering finish make this an inviting choice for pizza night or roasted root vegetables. 2025 Select Vineyards Cabernet Merlot Cabernet Franc leads this blend, supported by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Italian plum, ripe cherry, earthy sage and espresso notes suggest a delicious match with braised lamb shanks or aged cheddar. 2025 Chardonnay Toasted pecan and warm caramel aromas lead to bright citrus, a creamy mid-palate and crème brûlée notes. Pour alongside fettuccine carbonara or a velvety bowl of squash soup. 🥣 2022 Old Vine Brut Made from estate-grown old-vine Pinot Blanc, this traditional-method sparkling wine spent 24 months en tirage.

🍇 Promising fruit. Painful losses. One complicated 🍇 Promising fruit. Painful losses. One complicated BC vintage. Our 2026 BC wine harvest report brings together firsthand accounts from 13 wineries across the Okanagan, Shuswap, Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island. These harvest photos capture the people and work behind the wines. Some wineries lost entire estate crops, while others report exceptional fruit and promising young wines. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories and photos during such a busy season. 🍷 Keep supporting BC wines and the people who make them. 👉 Read the full report—link in bio. #BCWine #BCHarvest2026 #BCWineries #OkanaganWine #SupportLocal #SummerlandStrong @lightningrockwinery @dirtylaundrywinery @lafrenzwinery @blackmarketwineco @nobleridgewinery @township7 @timewines @winemakers_cut @vasantiwines @hestercreekwinery @drinkriverstone @sunnybraewinery @bluegrousewines
🍷🥣 Grüner Veltliner & Roasted Butternut Squash Sou 🍷🥣 Grüner Veltliner & Roasted Butternut Squash Soup — Yummy! What a delicious pairing! 😋 @montecreekwinery Living Land Grüner Veltliner 2025 from the Similkameen Valley is a delightful match for creamy roasted butternut squash soup. This organically grown Austrian-style white offers inviting aromas of apple, peach and citrus with a delicate hint of white pepper. 🍏🍑 On the palate, vibrant lemon-lime zest, stone fruit and white grapefruit mingle with stony minerality and refreshing acidity. 90 Points ⭐ 🥣 Why the pairing works: The wine's bright acidity cuts through the soup's creamy richness, while its subtle white pepper and mineral notes beautifully complement the sweet, roasted squash. 🇨🇦 BC Organic | Similkameen Valley 💰 $26.99 | ⭐ 90 Points Another delicious discovery from Monte Creek Winery! #MonteCreekWinery #GrunerVeltliner #BCWine #SimilkameenValley #OrganicWine #WinePairing #ButternutSquashSoup #BCWineTrends #ExploreBCWine #CanadianWine
