Upper Bench Estate Winery 2022 Gamay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wine: Upper Bench Estate Winery 2022 Gamay Why drink it? I think everyone should drink more Gamay, and this light-to-medium-bodied version from Upper Bench, with its notes of cherry and raspberry, is a wonderful place to start. I sometimes describe Gamay as a red wine for white wine lovers as it has low tannins and good acidity, characteristics we typically associate with white wines. I had a lovely quick stop at Upper Bench last month. It was a quiet and very hot morning, mid-week, but I went e
Blasted Church 2025 Blaufrankisch Rosé (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wine: Blasted Church 2025 Blaufrankisch Rosé Why drink it? A good, complex rosé isn’t super-common but this one delivers, with notes of redcurrant, strawberry, sour cherry and more. Vibrant and fresh, it’s a pleasure to drink — and true to Blasted Church form, the label is as brilliant and quirky as ever. Interestingly, the grape here — Blaufrankisch — was first planted in the Okanagan Valley in 1930, almost 100 years ago. This particular wine is made from estate-grown fruit that’s been hand-pic
River Stone 2022 Small Lots Merlot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wine: River Stone 2022 Small Lots Merlot Why drink it? Located just north of Oliver, River Stone is a gem of a winery to visit, with lush flower gardens in the summer and a cozy tasting room. Plan to spend some time here as soon as you can. As for River Stone’s Merlot, it is lush, rich, smooth and showing beautifully now, with all the typical dark fruit notes you’d expect: ripe plums, dark cherries, plus hints of wild sage and mocha. It shows great aging potential, too. Pair with: Lamb roast wit
Hester Creek 2025 Viognier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why drink it? From a near-perfect vintage, this 2025 Viogner is made of hand-picked Viognier grapes grown in the South Okanagan. Originally from France’s Rhone Valley, Viognier was almost lost in the 1960s, until an enterprising French winemaker saw its potential and brought it back into fashion. It is now found in wine regions around the world, including the Okanagan Valley. This vintage is particularly nice as it marks the return to all-BC-grown fruit. It is quite crisp on the palate, with not
Poplar Grove 2025 Rosé (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why drink it? The prettiest soft pink colour, this wine is fresh and lively, with notes of pink grapefruit, melon, cherry and strawberry. Crisp and clean, it comes from BC-grown fruit, a blend of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Franc that was hand-picked and quickly processed. Drink now and serve chilled. Pair with: Soft cheeses, charcuterie, sushi or grilled chicken. Music pairing: Pretty in Pink by the Psychedelic Furs As a kid, Shelley Boettcher often found herself in the back seat of a pick-up,
