In my latest for @decanter, I dive into Gamay from BC and Ontario. Thank you to @winetrackmind, @bachelder_wines, @leaningpostwine, and @rustwine for helping shape the story and provide insight into why people love Canadian Gamay and how the grape thrives on opposite sides of the country.

The full meal deal experience at @hestercreek1968 - how lucky am I? From a top-tier stay in the Villa to barrel tastings and custom chef meals to vineyard walks (not to mention wild horses🐴 watch to the end!), the experience was an 11 out of 10 😉. I can’t wait to share more about what this team is up to, they have so many exciting wines on the horizon.

Thank you team #hestercreek for the impeccable and immersive experience. 💜

First published in the @decanter January print issue, “Vancouver Island: A wine lover’s guide” is now on Decanter.com. Thank you @winesofbc and @gellietina for the opportunity to showcase such a beautiful part of Canada 🇨🇦

Lying just off British Columbia’s west coast, this Pacific-facing island may not be Canada’s best-known wine tourism draw, but it offers a bounty of hidden gems. And vying for the accolade of Canada’s warmest place, it’s the perfect destination for a winter getaway.

Visiting Rundle Bar at Banff Fairmont is always a highlight ✨, this time in particular, as I decided to indulge in their infamous purple potion: Rundle Bar Gin.

Juniper berries, fresh orange wheel, a hint of fresh rosemary, and Fever Tree Indian Tonic dance in the glass; each sip takes you to new heights - literally! You can't see the epic mountain views in the background, but it's astounding how a drink becomes even better when surrounded by nature's grandeur. It's like the mountains are toasting with us. 🥂 If you're ever in Banff, this iconic libation is a must-try.
