Our hospitality workers are having an even tougher life with the risks of COVID and their interaction with the public as part of their job.  Getting sick from COVID, plus having other underlying health conditions, or being diagnosed with an issue that requires hospitalization is terrible.  We do have hospitality workers who do get sick and need our help so…

I’m sure many of us in the wine trade and lovers of BC wine wondered what would happen to TIME Winery, Evolve Cellars, and McWatters Collection after the very unexpected passing of Harry McWatters.  Now we know.  Today it was announced that these 3 wineries have been sold to a local BC family.  Here is the press release. ~~~ Exciting…
