Happy Canada Day and three cheers to summer!

My one chance to go fishing this summer resulted in weather too hot for the fish to have any interest in, what I presumed, were tasty worms. Oh well, the wine I took on my holidays helped console me over the lack of fish. I hope that everyone gets a chance to sit back and find the beverage of choice to be sipped under an umbrella, as protection from the sun or the rain.

A couple of special wines for your consideration. Winexpert has come up with 2 California blends- a Zinfandel Syrah featuring a dry, full bodied wine, with jammy black fruit, raspberry notes with a hint of spice- 4 weeks to be ready to drink in August, $159.00. The other a Chardonnay Riesling packed with fruit flavours and a crisp acidity. Light to medium bodied and dry. The perfect combo guaranteed to have you smacking you lips. Ready in 4 weeks, $159.00 These are limited releases, so don’t delay.

We will be closed on Saturday July 13, as we are celebrating my partner’s milestone birthday. I would be in so much trouble if I made public the particular milestone. I saved a case of Okanagan Meritage that has been in the bottle for 8 months. It will be sooooo good. If you haven’t tried this wine, you really should. It is Canada’s answer to a Bordeaux.I invite you to check out our website for full descriptions of all our wines. Also, I also invite you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

I hope you will get to celebrate something this summer, even if it is just because its Thursday.

Take care of each other,
