The 2018 harvest began earlier than anticipated due to above average growing degree days in the spring. Summer arrived with cooler temperatures, encouraging the fruit to develop beautiful acidity and allowing more time for full flavour retention. One of the coolest Septembers on record followed, slowing down the process.
The 2018 Reserve Pinot Blanc was farmed from two of vineyards in Osoyoos and Oliver. First planted in 1997, the Osoyoos Vineyard is located on a steep, west facing hillside. Our vineyard on the Black Sage Bench in Oliver is diverse with more than 60 different individual blocks affording us an amazing array of premium quality fruit. The combination of the soil and wonderful sun exposure in these small blocks provide ideal conditions for growing Pinot Blanc.

Bugs and Diets
What position is it in soccer where my kid tries to find a four leaf clover?
Me: I’m struggling with some demons today Wife: I thought I told you to stop calling our kids that
me: how is your pancake, bud? 3yo, rubbing the pancake on his face: it’s soft
Yesterday: 4yo sees one lone ladybug in the house. This morning at drop off: 4 announces to his teachers and classmates that he lives “in a home FULL of bugs.”
I love how unabashedly kids make friends at the park. My daughter: My mom is over there (points). She dyes her hair. New friend: That’s my mom there (points). She’s 46 and she’s on a diet.
Some days parenting is really fun. Some days parenting is hard because your kid has decided they’re a dog and will only respond to you if you pretend they’re a dog.
