Honoured that myPelham.com came looking for this photo. Glad to share this wonderful tree in an amazing Autumn!

I’ve enjoyed my *first* bottle of 2018 Versado Wine Malbec!

Loved Truth or Consequences as a kid. Happy 99th Birthday #BobBarker!

Toss up between Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte. Both charming with fans.

One my favourite B.C. wineries with a rich history, Sperling Vineyards, has been sold to MarkAnthonyWine owned by Anthony von Mandl. The Kelowna winery has been making wine since 1925. Niagara's Ann Sperling and Peter Gamble are part owners of the winery.

Can’t wait to learn even more about this next-level project. Exciting times in Niagara!

On #WorldEmojiDay today, we want to state unequivocally that it's time for a WHITE WINE EMOJI! We love our sparkling wine emojis 🥂🍾 to be sure, but seriously, can we really be expected to limit ourselves to 🍷? Who is with us? #whitewineemoji #wewantawhitewineemoji

So the question going around on #WorldEmojiDay is “What three emojis describe you?” Would it look bad if I said 🥂🍾🍷? (If there was a #whitewineemoji, I’d substitute that for the sparkling bottle.) #weneedawhitewineemoji

The colour is everywhere! Véraison is underway throughout almost all of our 16 varieties. What is véraison? Watch for a few seconds to learn more and to see the beauty of this vineyard phase. 📷: Winestains.ca
