Wine Growers British Columbia has announced that April is, once again, B.C. Wine Month. Our wine industry needs support more than ever, and with 929 vineyards and 12,000 jobs across the province being affected by the pandemic, this is absolutely the year to buy local. In that vein (vine?), a little customer incentive offered by the South Okanagan’s Road 13 Vineyards makes shopping for sippers fun. From now until the end of May, the winery is offering special spring-themed wine bundles. Yep, two- and three-bottle sets perfectly matched to what we will all likely be cooking at home, since more at home time is just the way it is. But since each gift box bundle comes with complimentary shipping throughout Canada, why not brighten someone’s day and send them a little wine-surprise? Some bundles to consider below. —Catherine Dunwoody
the early bird. From chicken and waffles to corned beef hash, these three beautiful wines—2018 Marsanne, 2018 Riesling and 2018 Viognier ($73)—pair perfectly with all the best brunches.
chicken & egg. Whether its winner winner chicken dinner or your favourite spin on a classic Benny, this pair—a 2017 Blind Creek Chardonnay and 2018 Jackpot Chardonnay ($104)—are ideal with a roasty spring dinner or lazy Sunday brunch.
groundhog day. Syrah pairs beautifully with food, in all its velvety, gently spicy deliciousness. From an easy 3-ingredient pasta to a simmer-all-day bourguignon, any wine from this collection would be ideal, including a 2018 Syrah, 2018 Syrah Malbec and 2018 Jackpot Syrah ($133).
mum’s the word. Perfect wines for upcoming Mother’s Day: a 2018 Jackpot Chardonnay and 2016 Blind Creek Cabernet Sauvignon ($154).
