04 · 11Zooming to Work
Spring at GOW has been a bit like that duck swimming across the pond. All is calm on top of the water, but underneath we are working like mad to move ahead. We have been zooming about the globe with stops in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, McLaren Vale, South Australia, Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Magill Estate, Adelaide and Santiago, Chile. The team has pumped out a flurry of reviews, and if you haven't noticed, we are currently live-streaming a 2021 budburst watch from a Kelowna vineyard. Our next newsletter is Thursday, April 22, sign up here to get all the news.

It was a devastating year of wildfires, the worst on record in the state, claiming 33 lives and billions of dollars in damage. In Napa and Sonoma, the Glass Fire damaged or destroyed 31 wineries. The fire’s impact on the 2020 harvest was significant, and some wineries have already written off their vintage...Read More ...

This will come in handy to describe what you’re looking for next time you visit a cheesemaker or local cheesemonger. Come back each month to discover new terms and wine pairings as we grow our glossary. THIS MONTH: Cave Aged – is exactly what it sounds like...Read More ...
