We are encouraging BC wine lovers to order from their favourite wineries and help support the BC wine industry. The wineries jumped onboard and each winery has a special shipping incentive for online orders.
We have carefully selected some incredible wines that say Passion! this Valentine’s Day. More than a jug of wine, a loaf of bread and thou! We think these wines will make your blood pump and your toes curl, of course it helps if you have someone special to share your passion with but we can only make suggestions on wine pairing with our personal recommendations, other pairings are up to you!
Romance! How do you define romance? The Oxford Dictionary defines romance as: A feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love. We think we can add to the excitement and take the mystery out of which wine to share with your Valentine.
Here we are again in 2019 with our #FavouriteThings Holiday Gift Suggestions.
