Women Staking Their Claim In BC Wine Winemaking in the past has been dominated by men around the world, but times are changing. British Columbia is a great example. If you've ever cracked open a bottle of BC wine, there is a high probability that it was made by a female winemaker and/or the winery is female owned. Estimates suggest about 20% of lead winemakers in the Okanagan are women, with somewhat lower percentages in other BC wine regions according to…

BC’s Haywire Lunar Red 2022 for Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse The new Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse starts on February 17, 2026. In a previous article on mywinepal.com, I listed wines that have a horse theme. One of the wines I listed was BC's Haywire Winery Lunar Red 2022. I received a bottle of this wine to review and from my tasting notes, I think it should pair nicely with a variety of savoury Asian dishes for your New Year celebration.

BC’s Gold Hill Winery Sauvignon Blanc 2022 and Charisma Cabernet Merlot 2021 Today I have two wines for you from south Okanagan's Gold Hill Winery; their Gold Hill Winery Sauvignon Blanc 2022 and Charisma Cabernet Merlot 2021. Charisma is their second label. Charisma wines curates charming approachable everyday drinking wines. There were scattered forest fires in the BC interior in 2021, but the winemakers at that time did not notice any smoke taint during the winemaking process.

Quick Review: Gold Hill Oxbow Reach Cabernet Franc and Merlot 2019 We are well into the colder, winter weather now here in BC. So it is time to venture into deeper, red wines. I have two red wines from Oliver's Gold Hill Winery. I have their Gold Hill Oxbow Reach Merlot 2019 and Oxbow Reach Cabernet Franc 2019. Both are interestingly from the 2019 vintage, with now 6 years of aging.

Your Dinner Companions: Domaine Artema Winery Village Sparkling Rose and La Petite Mort I saved my last two wines from Domaine Artema Winery to be their Village Sparkling Rosé 2024 and their La Petite Mort (port style), NV, dessert wine. These two wines can cover the start and end of a delicious dinner. I did not decant either wine. In the first case, you don't want the delicious bubbles in your sparkling wine to dissipate and the latter, dessert wines, with their high sugar content, tend to stay unchanged in aromas and flavours over a long time.

Quick Review: Domaine Artema Winery Gamay and Rose Village 2024 Today, I'm easing us into the colder weather with a 2024 Rosé and a Gamay wine made by Oliver's Domaine Artema Winery. Gamay is a red wine grape with less tannins and more acidity, making it easier to sip on its own as well as being food friendly. The Rosé wine uses Pinot Noir primarily with a substantial amount of Gamay.

BC Winemaker’s Harvest 2025 Interview The 2025 BC harvest was one of hope and a bounty of grapes. I travelled to Osoyoos at the beginning of October and all the winery principles I spoke to mentioned how their grape vines were supplying an overabundance of grapes this year, to make up for the devastation last year. Now that it is early December and the wines are all in tanks or barrels, what do BC winemakers have to say about their wines?
