Sparkling Holiday Tips

By: Anthony Gismondi

Let us help stock your wine fridge for the holidays.

The Week In Review

We are back for a few days and working hard on a big December lineup.

I have one last trip to France in December but in the meantime we will be publishing a wide array of new tasting notes, two features on global sparkling wines, (December 4) and Champagne (December 11), and several Top Ten List shopping guides for the holiday season. If you haven't visited us in a while, please have a look at our latest series of videos featuring British Columbian wineries. Before the end of the year we will feature seven very different approaches to discovering the growing enthusiasm for making wines that are from B.C. and nowhere else at : Clos du Soleil, Bench 1775, The Hatch, Phantom Creek Estates, Mirabel Vineyards, Hillside Winery (Nov 27) and Haywire. We also invite you to join us on Facebook, it's the soonest you'll be notified when new stories and lists are posted to this website. It's also where you can find exclusive content and give us your feedback, or follow us on Instagram to see what we're tasting and who we're visiting.
