September: The Unoffical New Year

By: Anthony Gismondi

The Week In Review

Labour Day marks the start of the real New Year for most of us with back to school top of mind.

We will be shifting our mindset over the next few weeks upping our red wine coverage but look for an in-depth feature on Trocken and Kabinett labeled German riesling coming later this fall. Whether you're away for the final long weekend of summer or hanging closer to home preparing the kids to return to school, we hope you take some time to watch, and share, our first in a series of Okanagan videos to be released over the next six to eight weeks. Our first stop was Phantom Creek, and new this week is a look at the Similkameen producer Clos du Soleil. In the meantime there is a new Cheese Dreams for the fall to check out, a Back to School Top Ten and plenty of new, sensibly scored Tasting Notes.
