• Play Estate a New Winery in BC

  

  I’m not sure if you (my readers) know this, but I work in the wine industry for a wine import agency. I like the title Territory Manager, but really what it means is I am a wine representative. And, yes that means I try lots of wines, but they aren’t always the ones I represent!…

• Rosé wine and me!

  

  I honestly LOVE exploring Rosé wines…. but I suppose that’s no secret. I’ve even created a Facebook Community Page called The Pink Tank – where me and wine friends share reviews on our favourite rosé wines, it’s meant to be fun and unpretentious.

• Winter wines to try from Italy and BC…

  

  What kind of wine do you drink in the winter time? Maybe a big, bold red wine? That seems to be a perception of what one “should” drink. However (and of course), if you ask me that question – I always respond… “I pick wine based on my mood, the weather or where I am”.…
