New from Pop & Pour: Malbec Maelstrom, Part I - #MalbecWorldDay (NOT #WorldMalbecDay, as I have long thought. A seven-bottle tour from the @WinesofArg looking at Mendoza Malbec's present and guessing at its future. With a surprise baller cork guest!) popandpour.ca/2021/04/15/mal…


Vineyard side-by-sides are the best, especially when the vineyard in question is as fascinating as the Sojeau Vineyard of Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills. Named (I presume) by way of an amalgamation of the plot’s prior name (SOJourner Vineyard) and the name of… instagr.am/p/CnLjrtUrCfX/

This is easily the most intense container of water I’ve ever drank. Tastes like…water. Can’t argue with that origin story though. #murderyourthirst #liquiddeath #drinks #yyc #marketing instagr.am/p/Cmz2KXRvDu8/

Merry Christmas to all!! Wishing everyone a week of calm, peace and joy heading into 2023. The most special part of my Christmas morning was unwrapping this stunning serving tray, which was covertly made for me by my incredibly skilled uncle @woodsedgeyeinstagr.am/p/CmmxYptS-Cz/

A pandemic’s worth of wines, finally recovered. Thanks to travelling companions, open borders, and Babb Montana. I have some cataloguing to do, and probably a reorganization of my just-organized new cellar. #reunited #WAwine instagr.am/p/CfPm_tovjI8/

There is nothing dumber than giving a major sports championship trophy to the team owners first. Check back to the Ovechkin Cup presentation in 2018, and Joe Lacob 2022 doesn’t exactly compare.


OK, fine, but only for the helipad.

Similkameen winery listed for sale for $8.7M includes wine caves, helipad and 16 acres of planted vines - Penticton News castanet.net/news/Penticton…



If you want to get a chance to try the wines that @cabdialectic did in the post below, be sure to grab tickets to the #wine dinner happening on June 3rd at the historic #yyc Lougheed House, featuring both Flat Rock Cellars and @upperbench. Reserve here: opentable.com/booking/experi…

The @gramercycellars wing of the new cellar (basically the right-hand third of it) is looking lit, as the kids would say… Obviously have to start diving into some verticals. #wine #WAwine #cellar instagr.am/p/Cc_3WHvpEQJ/
