Welcome back to Gismondi on Wine as we kick off our 40th year of tastings.

Welcome back to Gismondi on Wine as we kick off our 40^thyear of tastings. It’s been a long journey although in all honesty each year brings so many surprises it makes the voyage painless. You can check out our list of the 50 wines that most inspired us last year as we turn our focus toward the upcoming Vancouver international Wine Festival (also turning 40) led by the countries of Spain and Portugal. If you have a bit of extra time please have a look at our latest videos featuring seven British Columbia wineries: Clos du Soleil, Bench 1775, The Hatch, Phantom Creek Estates, Mirabel Vineyards, Hillside Winery and the Haywire Garnet Valley project. And, don’t forget to follow us on Instagram to see what we're tasting and who we're visiting and on Facebook for notifications for our latest posts.
