Have you tried the wines from BC’s Red Rooster Winery lately? This winery has been around for over 25 years, located on the Naramata Bench. Check out the new wine labels for the winery.

Rowan Hooper’s new book, Togetherness, is a fascinating study of symbiosis, what he calls a “neglected silo” of scientific research. The subject might sound a bit geeky and pointy-headed, but it’s central to the way that nature works. To anyone brought up on Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, or who has watched an […]

Moon Curser has built its reputation on producing distinctive varieties that are still uncommon in British Columbia, including Arneis, Carménère, Dolcetto, Marsanne, Roussanne, Tannat, ...

Behind the Cork™ - Ridge Three Valleys Red Blend
2018 Ridge Three Valleys Sonoma County ($30) Ridge Vineyards was founded in 1959 when four Stanford Research Institute engineers—David Bennion, Charles Rosen, Hewitt Crane, and Howard Zeidler—purchased a mountainside property on the Monte Bello Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains. While winemaking on the site dated back to 1885, the partners produced their first small vintage of "Estate" Cabernet in 1959 and officially re-bonded the winery for the 1962 vintage. Ridge Three Valleys red blend is produced from 70% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 12% Carignane and 4% Mataro (a.k.a. Mourvedre). The “Three Valleys” name comes from the fact that the grapes came from vineyards in Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each lot of grapes was fermented for nine days on their skins followed by aging for 10 months in oak. This 2018 Ridge Three Valleys red blend is medium ruby in color with aromas of dark fruit and dried herbs. On the palate, this medium-ful
