Our hearts are with Summerland.
To our friends, the families and businesses affected by the Bald Range wildfire, and everyone working to protect this special community — we are thinking of you and sending our love. ❤️

For all the ‘elbows up’ talk, not a single leader in this country has put it all on the line to allow Canadians to have free internal trade for Canadian goods. The best way to improve prosperity in Canada 🇨🇦 is staring us right in the face.
A B.C. winery says it can still sell its wine cheaper in the U.S. - ever after 50 percent tariffs - than it can in Ontario and Quebec, thanks to massive provincial markups.
Thinking about the friends, residents, business owners & farmers impacted by the devastating Bald Range wildfire in Summerland. We spent all of Thursday in town visiting with old friends and new. Especially worried for everyone in Garnet Valley including Chris Coletta @Haywirewine Alison Moyes #SolveroWine. Also Ron Kubek of #LightningRock winery in Summerland. Recovery for the whole community will be painstakingly slow. Grateful that so many people and animals got to safety ahead of the treacherous flames. Thank you 🙏 to firefighters, pilots and first responders. #BCWildfire
We’re baaack! 🍷🌞
Our annual #BCWine getaway is underway. Rolling into #NaramataBC always feels like coming home. The wind cleared the skies just in time for BBQ skewers, charcuterie and some outstanding local wines.
Some wines are worth waiting for! After a 2-year hiatus following winter freezes, Capella 2025 is back. This 20th anniversary bottling returns with vibrant citrus, beautiful texture and the unmistakable character of #SimilkameenWine.

France: Winegrowers in Chablis, Yonne are still battling frost with temps hitting -3°C.
They light 1000's of candles across the vineyards to raise temps just enough to stop the vines freezing and losing the entire crop.
