July 28th, 2018 – Naramata Bench Releases!

 

NEW RELEASES FROM THE NARAMATA BENCH:

  

THE SHOW

 

Summer 2018

 

Real warmth in the day. Sunrise at 6am.

AND new releases from BC’s wineries.  Perhaps, the very best time of the year.

We spent almost 5 glorious years on the Naramata Bench.

It was everything we had hoped it would be. A mix of farms, food, wineries and really fine people.

Now, when they make their annual New Wine Release trip into Vancouver and Victoria  it feels like old home week.

I have the wonderful job of sitting down and getting re-acquainted with familiar faces and new wines.

For you wine fans  joining us, it’s a chance to perhaps,  find your wine of the year or at the very least your Spring/Summer.
