@paulrickett @giblert We have opened a 2009 Tinhorn Oldfield Merlot and a 2010 Oldfield 2 Bench Red in the last week and both were doing quite well.

After 25+ years of hard work and dedication Bill has passed the torch to Dermott and Danielle Hutton to become the proud owners of Fairview Cellars. Bill has entrusted us with continuing his legacy and we take that task very seriously. You can find Bill on twitter @WilecoyEggert

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! #daydrinking

I find it amazing what a difference a small percentage of PV makes when doing blends #BCWineChat

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

I also enjoy @mooncurser and @vinAmiteCellars Petit Verdot. Who else is making it as a single varietal? #BCWineChat

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

I enjoy Malbec, @drinkriverstone is a favourite. I agree with @SandraOldfield that it can suffer winter damage more than many other varietals #BCWineChat

It's not like I went into 2022 with crazy optimism but wtf.

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

@stock_guy1 @OrofinoWinery It was fantastic, no residual sugar or anything, just a rich cherry note at first with cocoa.

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

We had a 2009 @OrofinoWinery Beleza with our lamb roast this evening and the first thing we both got was Black Forest cake with rich cherry.

[Bradley James Cooper @Bradinator]

Anyhoo, if you are around @DistrictWineVillage over Family Day, we’re going to be sampling 2021 barrels of ME and CF (just like the Bord buyers!) at @OneFaithWine. No charge! #bcwinechat

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

We like puff pastry with asparagus (brushed with olive oil) and gruyere cheese. Pairs well with Sauvignon Blanc or dry bubbly #BCwineChat

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

@SandraOldfield Yes, it brought the residual sugar for sure. It was?a 2017 @SynchromeshWine Riesling #bcwinechat

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

We recently slow cooked leg of lamb with some lemon juice and zest in the glaze and found that Riesling worked quite well. #BCwineChat

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

@SandraOldfield No, ice fishing isn't my gig but if I did it would be a big hip flask with me #BCWineChat

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

We have been cooking a lot of duck lately, so Pinot Noir is our go to #BCwineChat

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

A favourite appy of ours is prawns sauted in butter, Dijon mustard and BC Chardonnay #BCwineChat #thenyoudrinktheChard

[Brian Glaum @BcwasBrian]

Just got back to my laptop. How are you, #BCWineChat peeps?
