BRING ON THE BUBBLY!

Today we welcome Ezra Cipes, Co-Proprietor of Summerhill Estate Winery! 
I have know Ezra since he was 11 years old and I'm so excited to welcome him to my store! 

Ezra is going to introduce us to his brand new vintage 2015 Riesling which I am so excited to taste today as I am in love with Riesling! 
Ezra will also be pouring two of my all time faves and the reason I am in the wine industry today...his two bubblies made the true Methode Champenoise (True French Champagne method) Cipes Brut and Cipes Rose Brut! 
Next up what we all called the "Hot tub" wine...their award-winning Ehrenfelser, their beautiful Pinot Noir, and one of the oldest vine Marechal Foch.

This Pinot comes from a 32 year old vineyard and dear friends of mine...I used to pick grapes for them! 

Saturday we have a brand new Kamloops winery and I have to admit...their Riesling is fantastic and the Merlot grapes come from Michael Bartier's own Cerqueira Vineyard.

Great weekend as we pour the perfect wines to celebrate the holiday season with!
Cheers,
Kim
