🍷🍝 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. 😋

🍷🥩 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. Cheers! 🍷

🍂🍷 Five fresh arrivals from Hester Creek for autum 🍂🍷 Five fresh arrivals from Hester Creek for autumn tables and holiday gatherings!

2025 Character Red
Petit Verdot, Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Hester Creek’s distinctive Italian Merlot come together with aromas of white pepper, blueberry and clove. 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. Fine bubbles, toasted brioche and lemon zest bring a festive touch to the table. 🥂

These descriptions come from the winery’s release notes, our tasting impressions and full article will follow!

🍷🥣 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.

A delicious Thompson Valley Chardonnay pairs well with pan-fried steelhead trout. 🍽️🐟

Citrus and stone-fruit aromas mingle with toasted oak and a hint of vanilla. The palate brings pineapple, lemon, ripe apple and Bosc pear, with refreshing acidity balancing a rich, smooth mouthfeel.

Fermented with natural yeast and aged for 10 months in 90% French oak barrels and 10% concrete eggs, this organic Chardonnay has a gentle oak influence. Malolactic fermentation adds roundness and texture.

With the steelhead, that texture complements the fish’s richness, while the citrus flavours and bright acidity keep the pairing fresh. A lovely match that lets the delicate fish shine.
