Artisanal: in a traditional or non-mechanized way.

The Week In Review

We are working hard here and we need your help.

Your access to GOW is free, and will stay that way, but once in a while we need you to like our Facebook page and repost a favourite story. Treve is heading home from South Africa with a wealth of notes and stories while I prepare for an Okanagan broadcast and a quick trip to Chile. We kick off the week with an extensive look at Checkmate Artisanal Winery’s latest releases. Our latest Top Ten is a nudge to get that cellar started while Allison Spurrell our Cheese Dreams expert touts the tasty Jura Montagne. Our video series is asking “What, if anything, does natural wine mean to you?” Why not post your comments, and hopefully a ‘like’ on our Gismondi On Wine Facebook page. Enjoy.
