The Week In Review

The 2021 Wine Align National Wine Award winners are out, and we salute all the wineries that entered.

The 2021 Wine Align National Wine Award winners are out, and we salute all the wineries that entered. We interview La Frenz co-owner Jeff Martin the winner of the NWAC's Best Performing Small Winery in Canada, No. 1 in BC and No.2 in Canada, and you can read about the best sparkling wines with our back story on how this style has developed in Canada and is now competing globally. We posted our Year in a Life of a BC Winegrower, the harvest edition, with four winemakers from four regions harvesting four varieties. Next week, we'll be releasing a video interview with the engaging Argiano winemaker, Bernardino Sani, to update the Super Tuscan story and his famous Solengo. As the holidays approach, we have upped our steady stream of wine reviews posted daily. Be sure to get our next newsletter (it's free), Thursday, November 25. Sign up here if you haven't already subscribed.
