The Week In Review

School's out for summer, and we are back, or mostly back, in BC for a couple of months.

I'll be travelling in the Okanagan and Washington to shoot some videos and explore, while Treve will be moving about the country and across the border into Oregon until it all breaks loose again in the fall. If you haven’t noticed, we have reviewed scores of local wines of late and posted even more notes. We have another 300 wines to get through in the next few weeks that are sitting on the bench. We will also report on the full results of the 2019 WineAlign National Wine Awards later in the month. Watch for our Top Ten to get back on track every other week and a new post featuring ‘Real Wine’ picks alternating every other week with the Top Ten. We will be announcing a couple of other pieces of news at GOW as ramp up for the busy fall season. For now, enjoy our almost daily reviews as they roll out and we hope you get a bit of downtime to relax this summer.
