The Last Days of Summer

By: Anthony Gismondi

The Week In Review

It’s been a busy summer at GOW that began with numerous trips to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia.

The 2018 WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada were completed along with a video update on Phantom Creek, hundreds of tasting notes, and we are still plowing through. Treve was tasting and presenting at TEXSOM before heading to Toronto this week, and she will be off to South Africa for a lengthy September visit. The GOW video team is wrapping up 12 days of filming in Italy, stretching from Bolzano to Bari, and we will soon release a series of videos shot at To-Kalon Vineyard in Napa Valley at the end of July. Keep your eyes on this space for the official roll out of our Real Wine program in September, when harvest, and tastings, really kick off.
