Paul Byrne will take to the stage in Lake Country, backed by a talented band that captures the essence of Lightfoot’s timeless music. The five-piece ensemble captures the same spirit and musicality that defined Lightfoot’s distinctive sound, blending folk, country and rock elements into a resonant performance.

Byrne, known for his uncanny ability to channel Lightfoot’s rich baritone and poignant storytelling, promises an experience that feels like stepping back into the intimate concert halls of the 1970s. Fans of Gordon Lightfoot https://ticketseller.ca

Thanks team!

If, like Yvonne Turgeon (publisher of Orchard & Vine Magazine), the recent rise in temps has you reaching for crisp white wines, you might be interested to read her review of "two exquisite, award-winning Pinot Gris wines that celebrate B.C.’s most beloved white varietal." Including 2022 Pinot Gris!

"2022 Clos du Soleil Pinot Gris Whispered Secret Vineyard encapsulates the [Similkameen] valley’s essence, offering a fruit-forward and medium-bodied profile that sings with notes of citrus, pear, and nectarine, all underpinned by a texture wine with a long, juicy finish.
A cooler site near the river, Whispered Secret vineyard shows best with white grapes. Cradled by sheer rock and the Similkameen River, it offers an unparalleled terroir that significantly influences its Pinot Gris’s distinctive minerality and vibrant acidity."

Many thanks for the review!

Popular Pinot Gris Shines Golden!

Gehringer Brothers, on the Golden Mile Bench, boasts four decades of winemaking excellence since its establishment in 1985. The 2022 Optimum Pinot Gris ($21.99), crafted by winemaker Walter Gehringer, exemplifies their mastery. Aromas of ripe Okanagan peaches and Bartlett pears characterize this golden wine, showcasing the winery's commitment to grape and terroir essence.

The 2023 Trends Magazine Top BC Wine Awards recognized Gehringer Brothers Optimum 2022 Pinot Gris with gold and Clos du Soleil 2022 Pinot Gris with silver. Pinot Gris, a perennial favorite, takes center stage. Savor the B.C. golden moment in your glass and raise a toast to the approaching Spring.
