Monthly Wine Features

Our Monthly Wine Feature is all about celebrating the very best of British Columbia. Each month over the next year, we will highlight 12 renowned local BC wineries — bringing you not just exceptional wines, but the stories behind them. From the people and passion that shape each vintage to the role these wineries play in supporting our local economy through tourism, agriculture, and community, every feature is a deeper look into what makes BC wine so special.

​

Be sure to watch for our blog release the month prior to each feature, where we introduce the winery and the wines selected. Stop into the store and take the opportunity to pre-order bottles or cases ahead of the feature month.

And as part of our commitment to giving back, $1 from every bottle sold during each feature will be contributed to the Friendship Centre Fund, supporting important programs in our community.

June Feature Wines

2022 Cabernet Franc

A standout red from Burrowing Owl, the 2022 Cabernet Franc is a beautifully balanced and expressive wine. On the nose, you’ll find layered aromas of dried violets, red plum, currant, and subtle spice. The palate is vibrant and structured, with fresh berry notes, earthy undertones, and hints of clove, paprika, and graphite.

Medium-bodied with refined tannins and bright acidity, this is a wine that delivers both depth and drinkability. It pairs exceptionally well with roasted meats, game, or rich vegetarian dishes like eggplant parmigiana.

2020 Pinot Gris

On the white side, Burrowing Owl’s Pinot Gris continues to be one of the most recognized and enjoyed styles in BC. Crafted in a fresh yet textured style, it offers inviting notes of orchard fruit—pear, apple, and subtle citrus—alongside a clean, crisp finish.

This is a versatile, easy-drinking wine that still carries complexity, making it perfect for everything from seafood and salads to casual patio evenings. It’s a true reflection of the Okanagan’s ability to produce vibrant, food-friendly whites​​.
