Wonderful response for last weeks Naramata pour in Vancouver Part One.
If the feedback is any indication, they are going to have a banner year.
Our last two guests from the Naramata Bench Vancouver Spring Wines pour are
Matt Mikulic – President and Winemaker – Three Sisters Winery
Matthew and his wife Rebecca both have three sisters…thus the name of the winery and wines.
Matthew, Rebecca and family
No huffing and puffing about vineyards and clones – just really well grown and balanced, approachable wines.
That’s part of the reason why they are so popular. Their wines are as nice as they are!
Hayley Fisher – Kettle Valley Wines
The oldest single owner winery on Naramata Bench in their 35th year. Legendary wines.
Kettle Valley Vineyards
VJ Gandhi – Kascadia Wine Merchants.
Kascadia Wine Merchants is the first wine club and online shop in the U.S. to offer wines from Canada, the United States, and Mexico—a curated celebration of North American terroir, culture, and connection.
VJ Gandhi
Founded by VJ Gandhi, a passionate wine merchant and proud Asian-Canadian entrepreneur, Kascadia was born from a desire to share the wines that shaped her sense of place and belonging. After moving to California in 2014, VJ saw the need for something different in the U.S. wine space—something slower, more intentional. Something that invites people to gather, unplug, and taste what truly matters.
This is, I believe, the third time we’ve talked to VJ.
She lives outside of San Francisco and passionately offers and sells Canadian wines to US customers.
We’ll take honest over polished.
Small producers over mass production.
Character over perfection.
Kascadia’s portfolio has continued to expand with wines from:
BC
Ontario
Quebec
Nova Scotia
California
Washington
Oregon
Guadalupe Valley, Mexico
BC Wines available include:
Meyer Family
Poplar Grove
Q&A Red and White
Spearhead
Painted Rock
Clos Du Soleil
This interview deals with just getting caught up on her amazing story. Kascadia is making waves on both sides of the border.
I’m wondering why and by what standards?
Congratulations to VJ.
