It’s well established that wine bottles have means for fraud and counterfeit protection, including special inks, holograms and computer tagging. But the premium cheeses of the world?

Now the food industry has joined in with high-tech, food-safe microchips to prevent the king of cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano, from becoming the object of fraudulent imitation.

In the other bubbly news, a remarkable chemical physicist Gérard Liger-Belair (a member of an acclaimed Burgundian wine family) has made bubbles the object of his study for decades now, starting with his PhD and helping the world understand the fizzy wonders of Champagne, as well as sea spray, cloud formation and hydrogen bubbles on Saturn’s moon, Titan.

When you hear that Christa-Lee McWatters is planning to open a new tasting room that would focus just on sparkling wine, you get intrigued. But when she tells you it would also feature gourmet bites to pair with bubbles in a beautiful architectural space on the Naramata Bench, you get pretty darn excited!

The Evolve Cellars bubble house is expected to open sometime next spring. It will be the first winery on the bench as you head up the hill out of Penticton and will feature sparkling wines, both Charmat and traditional method, from a label that has been scooping up all sorts of awards. Can’t wait to check it out 🥂

Meet the winemakers 👋🏻

Alois Clemens Lageder, CEO of Alois Lageder(Alto Adige winery which has been owned by his family since 1823) and Shane Munn, Winemaker at Martin's Lane (Okanagan Valley winery owned by BC winemaking pioneer Anthony von Mandl).

Curious to know what they have in common? Offering insights into the various stages of viticulture and enology, they led a guided tasting of exclusive barrel samples in Vancouver last week. This educational and sensory journey through the world of winemaking connected two continents, diving deeper into the craftsmanship behind these exceptional wines. Cheers to the exciting wide world of international wine 🍷

Glou-glou, you say? Yes, please.

Glou-glou is a French noun-turned-adjective that imitates the word “glug-glug.” It is a 1600s wine term that was brought back to life by the natural wine movement, morphed into a trend and is now firmly rooted in today’s wine culture. Glou-glou wines can be red, white, rosé or sparkling and are often made using natural winemaking techniques that emphasize the flavours and aromas of the grapes.

Learn more about this trend, it's origins and top glou-glou recommendations from @girlsgograpedotcom at the link in our bio.
