June Is Bustin Out All Over

By: Anthony Gismondi

The Week In Review

It is South Africa week at GOW.

After a frustrating decade of waiting for something decent to show up in BC Liquor Stores we are looking elsewhere for wines led by the intrepid Treve Ring. I'm off to The Post Hotel Wine Summit Lake Louise 2017 to work with Castello Banfi, Leeuwin Estate, Maison Louis Latour, Paul Jaboulet Aîné, Weingüt Bründlmayer and Château Angélus. Treve will be in Roussillon in the south of France before we both prepare to head for Wolfville, Nova Scotia and the 17^th Wine Align National Wine Awards. In the meantime, you can catch up on our current Cheese Dream: Fromager d’Affinois, our YVR Top Drop Top Ten and our latest video on the origins of Kiwi sauvignon blanc. See you later in June.
