Did you know that Winemaker’s CUT makes sparkling wine? It is made using the Charmat (Prosecco) method, and uses 95% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscat Canelli grapes.

Lazzara Rosato Secco VQA, NV (ON $17.95) Happy Friday!! I think it’s pretty serendipitous that earlier this week on the exact same day, not only did I get my new champagne glasses, but I also received some gorgeous sparkling wines from Speck Bros. So it was only natural that I would christen my new glasses with one of these bubbly’s….
Hinterland Wine Co. Rosé 2016 Method Traditional (ON $39.75) Back after a few days in the woods and since I’ve been on a bubbly kick lately, it really should come as no surprise that one of the wines I packed for the getaway was a rosé bubbly. This one is a local beauty from Hinterland Wine Co. in Prince Edward…
Leaning Post Wines Petillant Naturel 2020 (ON $25) Pét Nats can be a hit or a miss, but here’s my trick to enjoying them almost every time… If your mind is thinking “I want wine”, then maybe don’t reach for a Pét Nat.

The grape varietals used in this crémant are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir,…

I opened the Nostalgia Wines Pinot Gris 2020 and the Nostalgia Wines Chantilly Lace 2020, a blend of Kerner and Chardonnay made with the Frizzante sparkling…
Enjoying lobster is a luxurious experience. I prefer them steamed and dipped in butter, but there are other ways of enjoying lobster. Provence Marinaside has prepared an excellent menu with lobster prepared in many ways and paired with delicious BC Okanagan’s Tantalus Vineyards‘ wines for the month of July. My mouth is watering. Get your reservation as soon as you…
It is Spring now, the cherry blossoms have passed, we are getting into our gardens and summer is one month away. It is time to get outside on our patios and enjoy some tasty BC wine. I think sparkling wine and Rosé wine fits the bill (white too). I received a bottle of Summerhill Pyramid Winery Cipes Brut Nature Zero…

Yesterday, I wrote about my participation in International Women’s Day with a virtual wine tasting of wines by TIME Winery and Evolve Cellars. The two wines were the Evolve Pink Effervescence and the TIME Winery Syrah 2018. We were told that Lynzee Schatz joined TIME in 2018 and took on the harvest, so we were tasting her first vintage of…
