BC Day is celebrated to honour the history, culture, and achievements of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It falls on the first Monday in August each year and is a statutory holiday in the province. This day commemorates the creation of the colony of British Columbia, which was formed on August 2, 1858. This was a significant event in…
I’ve been eagerly anticipating opening this bottle of BC’s TIME Family of Wines Chronos Syrah 2020 and had the chance to open it today to review. The quality starts with the cork, which is one long solid piece. All Chronos wines that I have tasted in the past have been top quality. Let me tell you about this wine. My…
We are halfway through the summer holidays if you have children in school, but we still have this month of August to enjoy being outside and having a bbq. Here are two wines that would go nicely with a bbq from TIME Family of Wines, although these two wines are smooth enough that you could enjoy them with less heavy…
The sunny days of summer, and the heat, are here. Have you been enjoying any white BC wines lately? I have two wines to present to you today from the TIME Family of Wines in Penticton. I have their Chronos Pinot Gris 2022 and Chronos Sauvignon Blanc 2022. These wines are meant to be enjoyed now in the sun with…
Summer is shining bright and hot in BC at the moment. Chilled white wines or rose wines seem appropriate. Nothing too heavy to weigh us down. Fresh fruits and bright acidity are what I look for in a wine at this time. With the summer heat, I decided to marinate pork chops and then open a bottle of TIME Family…
It’s time for our BC wines to be recognized by our peers. The results from the 2023 British Columbia Lieutenant Governor’s Wine Awards have been announced. Here is the press release. Pick up the bottles that won as soon as possible as they will sell out soon! ~~~ (KELOWNA, BC) – April 18, 2023: On April 3 through 5, 2023,…
I don’t usually put wines from different wineries together in a post, but today I did. Why? I wanted to show you that BC makes blends, and not necessarily traditional blends, like from Bordeaux. In BC and the New World, we are not tied to the restrictions of our region. We can experiment with our wines and make blends that…
New Year’s Eve is just around the corner. Have you purchased your sparkling wines to celebrate? Here are some sparkling wines I enjoyed this year that you may want to consider buying. Some BC sparklers are only available at the winery, but the foreign bottles should all be available at BC Liquor stores. Cheers! My Sparkling Wine Suggestions BC Wine…
If you were to bring two wines to a dinner party over the holiday season, I might suggest these two wines from the Time Family of Wines. Their Chronos Pinot Gris 2021 and Chronos Cabernet Franc 2020 are very accessible and I think food friendly. Let me tell you about them. My Wine Tasting Notes Chronos Pinot Gris 2021 (BC…
I visited TIME Family of Wines winery, tasting room, and restaurant in September. And had a great time. Lots of delicious wines for you to enjoy and the chef is on-point. I received this press release from TIME Family of Wines about what is new and I’d like to share it with you. Enjoy. ~~~As autumn is upon us, the…
