Canada wasn’t even really on my radar, but I came back to my birthplace of BC for love and was surprised by the richness of community I discovered in the Okanagan. There is also something very compelling about the balance of fruit, acid and young vines that are getting older—all the things we need to craft wines of longevity that you don’t see in many established wine regions. Both are keeping me here. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I count the entire restaurant industry as my community. They have been integral to our success at Tantalus. Many small restaurants, bars and local wineries rely solely on visitors to buy their food and wine. I was really proud of Canadians this year for taking the opportunity to explore their own backyards. Their reactions to what we had to offer at the winery were amazing. While we saw fewer people, we saw many for the first time and we had the opportunity to really share our story and the story of BC wine.”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #CanadaNice #ForGlowingHearts⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ *Though now might not be the right time to travel, there are many meaningful ways to support businesses in your community.
