Is the Pinot grape family tree as extensive and wide-reaching as the royal House of Windsor? 🍇🍇

With over 1,000 Pinot clones officially registered, it might appear that way. To help you navigate the subject, @girlsgograpedotcom created a guide for those grapes most commonly grown in BC:
• Pinot Noir
• Pinot Gris (most planted white grape variety in BC)
• Pinot Blanc (Okanagan Valley is particularly well-known for this one)
• Pinotage

While our time in Italy's over, nobody said we can't bring Italy back with us to Canada 🇨🇦🇮🇹

Especially for International #ProseccoDay! Looking for some traditional bubbly to raise a glass to this day? Check out Bottega Gold— a fresh tasting prosecco that offers fruity and floral notes that pair perfectly with a white meat or pasta dish pasta 🍝

Feel free to upgrade your celebrations to include @bottegagold Bellini. You'll need:
- 65 ml white peach juice
- 65 ml Bottega Gold Prosecco DOC
- Ice cubes

Preparation:
Cool the flute, pour the ingredients into a cocktail glass with ice cubes and shake well for about 10 seconds. Pour into the cooled glass. Garnish with a slice of white peach 🍑

From grape to glass, sustainability remains the main driver of the ecological mantra at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards.

Since becoming the country’s first certified Carbon Neutral Winery over a decade ago, @tinhorncreek has also adopted Stelvin closures (simply screw caps) across the board and swapped heavy bottles for lightweight, primarily recycled glass. Most recently, the vineyard's outdated overhead sprinklers were replaced with a precisely programmed, more sustainable drip irrigation system.

Curious to know what other aspects of the winery, tasting experiences, and @miradororesto are driven by sustainability? Find out at the link in our bio.

This year marked the first time Canada hosted International Cool Climate Wine Symposium!

Now, more than ever, the topic of climate—cool or otherwise—is top-of-mind for people involved in the wine industry globally. So, unsurprisingly, the warming climate became the hottest discussion at this year’s conference. As we experience record-breaking temperatures worldwide and wine regions are ravaged by an increasing number of natural disasters, how do we adapt and adjust our viticultural and oenological practices?

See the link in our bio for the full coverage of this year’s symposium from @girlsgograpedotcom.
