BC’s Mayhem Wines‘ wines are a treat for me.  Not causing Mayhem but pleasure and enjoyment.  I have two bottles of enjoyment to share with you; Mayhem Wines Naramata Bench Riesling 2022 and Okanagan Valley Cabernet Merlot 2021.  2022 was cooler to start but a long growing season producing quality fruit.  2021 was challenging with major forest fires followed by…

Where there is mayhem, there is the chance for creativity and excitement. Mayhem Wines in Okanagan Falls offers fun wines that are meant to be enjoyed.  I think the creativity and enjoyment of wine by the winemaker comes through.  I tasted two white wines from their recent release, their Mayhem Sauvignon Blanc 2022 and their Mayhem Pinot Gris 2022.  Let…

Meyer Family Vineyards (MFV) in Okanagan Falls has a sister winery, Mayhem Wines, which pairs JAK Meyer from MFV with his sister, Terry Meyer Stone, plus their spouses. The wineries have a different vibe with MFV, being more serious, concentrating on Burgundian style Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while Mayhem is on the more fun side, making aromatic white wines and…

On Canada Day, I was trying to drink red and white wine, to match the colours of our flag. But opening two bottles of wine for that is excessive. The solution is to open two cans of wine. Canned wine for “Can”ada Day.  There are so many canned wines now and they come in a perfect sippable size of 250ml….

The Heart of Wine Country encompasses Okanagan Falls and Skaha Lake.  This area I feel does exceptionally well with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.  I look forward to tasting wines from these two places in the Okanagan and having a chance at their The Heart of Wine Country Spring Wine Release.  Here are some of the wines I quite enjoyed….

This is likely the most unique wine made in BC; Mayhem Wines Fortified Gewurztraminer 2018.  Gewurztraminer is generally a grape that typically offers lychee, citrus, sweet spices and more; overall a very flavourful grape.  Mayhem Wines took their grapes and fermented them down to 19 brix before being fortified with 93% alcohol. This wine was then put to barrel and…

Why not enjoy a bit of Mayhem this summer?  Yes, it is still summer at the start of September.  Adding some fun into your life, especially during COVID, can lift your spirits, but do it safely.  One safe way to have some fun is to enjoy a glass of BC wine on your patio or deck.  Mayhem Wines provided me…

Besides spot prawn season, I think many BC’ers also look forward to halibut season.  It makes great fish and chips, but you can also cook it in other ways.  I received two 6 oz halibut portions from Organic Ocean to cook and pair with BC wine.  I decided to make Mediterranean Baked Halibut with Vegetables.  An easy to make dish…

Why not enjoy a bit of Mayhem this summer? Adding some fun into your life, especially during COVID, can lift your spirits, but do it safely. One safe way to have some fun is to enjoy a glass of BC wine on your patio or deck. Mayhem Wines provided me with their Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc 2019 to review…

Canned wines in BC seem to be the next big thing. I see many either on BC winery websites or other vendor sites. This week I tried my 2nd and 3rd BC canned wines. The Mayhem Wines Rosé 2020 and Pinot Gris 2020. They come in 250 ml cans. As it was a sunny day when I tried these two…
