It's that time of the year when sparkling wine sales skyrocket as people ring in the holiday season with a glass (or two) of fizz. We drink sparkling wines year round, of course, and plentifully so. But there is something festive about popping that cork
There is plenty to be done this month, beginning with two huge tastings involving sparkling wine and Champagne. You can expect two full reports by early December that will involve over 100 sparkling wines from around the world. In the meantime, Treve
I love fall. Not only is it harvest season - a glorious time to be in the vineyard - but it's the first release of reds, often lighter ones, like pinot noir and gamay, perfectly suited to wild mushrooms and autumn squash. I've just updated Anthony's Perfectly
Is it just me? Where did summer go? Time flies when you're having fun I suppose, and we certainly do at GOW. We've tasted a few hundred wines this summer, mostly sun-friendly whites, rosés and fizz (we posted 17 sauvignon blanc reviews today).
It’s become fashionable to bash wine reviews and reviewers in favour of more ‘reliable’ opinions, like friends you trust on social media. We too love all the social mediums but we also bring extensive travel, thousands of on-site visits,
Though we spend much of our time tasting wine from around the globe, so far this month Anthony and I have been pretty focused on wines from around the Pacific Northwest. He's just spent a week in BC wine country, touring around the Okanagan, interviewing
We've just published a Canada Day article summarizing all the things we've been up to here at GOW over the past couple of weeks. We've also taken a look back at the first half of 2016, with a list of the top 25 Canadian wines we've reviewed this year

I’ve come to learn that websites are a lot like boats. Expensive to buy and even more expensive to maintain. We finally have our media section in place, thank you Mark Taylor at MTCS and the design team at Tool Box Design it looks great. We look
The first big long weekend of the year is in sight and we are busy travelling and tasting. Treve is back in London for ‘Raw Wine’ a two-day celebration featuring over 150 growers and one of the most exciting collections of fine, natural, organic
May Day, May Day. That's what I feel like shouting out sometimes in the midst of spring and fall releases. A cherry blossom shower of wines are arriving to taste, as well as near daily portfolio tastings. It's a delight to taste the new whites and rosés
The only April showers we've seen this spring have been the sprinkles of the latest vintages crossing our doorstep: bright, crisp whites and rosés are arriving, and we're thrilled. The 2016 WineAlign National Wine Awards are now officially open;
The change to Daylight Savings Time signals a fast approaching spring in Vancouver. We will be ramping up our warm weather wine reviews as the week’s advance as well as reporting on recent rips to Argentina, Uruguay and ProWein. This year as the
We survived another busy Vancouver International Wine Festival week, with the stylish Italians impressing with their classics, autochthonous grapes and modernity - sometimes all in one glass. Over the next few weeks we'll be posting some of our favourite
Well, the busiest wine week of the year is here. Vancouver International Wine Festival is back to the city, and the GOW team has landed back in town, ready to go. As he does every year, Anthony wrote about VIWF extensively for The Vancouver Sun Salut!
