In case you missed it, last month, Hester Creek Estate Winery was named Great Northwest Wine magazine’s first-ever BC Winery of the Year 🎉

The history of this Golden Mile Bench winery—home to some of the oldest vines in the Pacific Northwest—goes all the way back to 1968. Long before British Columbia even had a wine industry, an Italian immigrant named Joe Busnardo famously planted some of the region’s very first vitis vinifera on the property. Today, the fruit it bears includes barrels of gold and platinum medals from all corners of the world.

Congratulations to the entire @hestercreek1968 team on being recognized for their work worldwide. Learn more about these award-winning #BCwines and get Top 3 recommendations at the link in our bio.

#throwback to a wonderful trade tasting with Nicolas Mielly, Export Director from Paul Jaboulet Aîné, one of the Rhône Valley’s most iconic producers.

Founded in 1834, Paul Jaboulet Aîné is also a leader in biodynamic and organic production and we've got to taste some of the best Rhône wines, including back vintages of Hermitage La Chapelle 🍷

Can you guess #1 white grape variety in terms of acreage in BC (1,166 acres planted according to @winesofbc)?

The majority of BC Pinot Gris could best be described as something fruitier and fuller bodied than the Pinot Grigio of Italy yet lighter and fresher than the wines of Alsace. Both the French and Italian names are used, often varying based on the style. They are typically dry or off-dry with a medium body and flavours and aromas of pear, honeydew or cantaloupe melon, lemon, and sometimes a little honey, minerality and baking spice.

Happy #PinotGrigioDay 🥂
