05 · 15An Epidemic of Change is Coming
While wineries, hotels and restaurants around the world try to find a safe way to welcome consumers back to their businesses, you must be prepared to give them room and space to get the job done. Remember to be kind and show some patience as they work through all the regulations and demands from governments and customers. For now, we continue to practice the ultimate physical distancing at GOW online. Look for daily tasting notes on new releases and new stories as they evolve. On Thursday, May 21, we will send out our latest newsletter with a big rosé feature and three new videos, including one about a new producer and a new wine from the Naramata Bench. To get your copy, subscribe here, and help us spread the word to wine drinkers in your circle and beyond. #weareallinthistogether. AG

Rosé Roundup
We can easily think and drink pink all year. But when the late spring sunshine sings in BC, this is prime rosé season. We’ve tasted more than 70 rosés at GOW so far in 2020, with more popping up each week, so watch for regular updates. Just as pink is the halfway hue between white and red on the colour spectrum, drinking pink offers up the best of both in the wine worlds. Rosés provide the freshness and acidity of white wines, plus the structure, berry fruit and tannin presence of reds. This balance makes rosé wines particularly food-friendly...Read More ...
