It is indeed a time for celebration and we’d like to share some of our favourite recent reviews and 93++ point wines. We will waive the shipping on all orders placed in the next 5 days of 6 or more bottles, while supplies last.
This time we’re explored “Uncork the Sun” wine country of Oliver and Osoyoos. Just a few of our #FavouriteThings wineries. September is an ideal month to visit anywhere in BC Wine Country. Fewer crowds and it’s when “the grown-ups come out to play”
A few of our favourite Chardonnays are fully allocated and the remaining bottles will be heading to our library. Before we hide them away, stock up on some of these great Chardonnays!
