Hey Calgary wine afficionados: I am teaching a French Wine Masterclass on Saturday, July 19th - come quench your mid-summer thirst for wine with me and Fine Vintage Register here: course.finevintageltd.com/course-details…

Low-and-no alcohol wine is a thing (although not mine!), and global companies are investing a lot of money to grow the NoLo wine market - look at this example: tweglobal.com/media/news/cra…

With Father’s Day coming up, I am being extra nice to the kids in the hopes that I win the “Best Dad Ever” title for a 15th consecutive year! (Wish me luck 🤞🤞)

Saddle Up! #CalgaryStampede

Oh no: Champagne Ruinart’s Chef de Cave died in a SCUBA accident: wine-searcher.com/m/2025/06/ruin…

When in Québec visiting family in late June, you get to eat the best fresh strawberries in the world!!! #delicious

Tonight’s wine: a Brunello! With my little brother at the lake in Québec #cheers

Stampede 2025 is a wrap!

I love Calgary: this morning I was on a 2-hour trail ride at Anchor D near Turner Valley, and at the store for my 3pm shift!

Post-horseback trail ride-post shift delight: this 2024 Chard from Domaine Darius in Prince Edward County, Ontario, is delicious! My buddy brought it for me as a gift and we’re enjoying it together in Calgary #cheers #wine

One of those days where it’s 11:30am and I’ve been up for hours (I have the opening shift at the store) and all I’ve had to drink since waking up is coffee!! ☕️😬

BEST JOKE & true: our 10-yo is having a Bday party sleepover with 4 friends. Cop car randomly parks in front of our house. I get an idea & call the kids upstairs: “The Police are here because you’re too rowdy!” I exclaim as they look out the window in a bit of trepidation..😂

One of my all-time favorite Country songs is Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar” from 2003…I used to go to a place that made me as happy as Toby’s bar :-)

Daughter #3 turns 10 tomorrow, so my wife and I are celebrating the year she was conceived: 2014! 😂🍷 #Cheers

Just finished a 5-hour project with daughter #2 building her new vanity desk. Had a 20+ page manual and over 100 parts. Tonight calls for a 3-olive Gin Martini evening! #Cheers

Why not? My wife deserves it! (So do I :-) #Cheers #Champagne

Went for an early ride with daughter #2 this morning in K-Country, and at home in time for a 1pm video call!!! #IloveAlberta

Ugh 🤦‍♂️ news.gallup.com/poll/693362/dr…

We had a Chenin Blanc Showdown at the store tonight…what a lineup!!! #wine #winetasting

Kicking off my week-long summer vacation! #SummerVibes #GinAndJuice
