'Tis The Season...

... For Gifting Wine

As we approach the holiday season it's time to start thinking about gifts for the wine lovers in your life. Many BC wineries are looking to attract your business with curated cases and half-cases of their wines. Here are a few of the most appealing offers currently available:

JoieFarm
The "JoieBox" at $170 includes a selection of pre-release, sold-out, and limited production wines and they are offering free shipping in BC:

2014 'En Famille' Reserve Pinot Noir - 1 bottle 
2013 JoieFarm Gamay - 1 bottle




Black Hills Estate Winery
The Black Sage Rd winery offers white or red themed boxes of their portfolio wines. The Big Red Box at $339 is likely your best bet as it includes the "sold-out" Note Bene and their underrated Syrah:

Laughing Stock Vineyards

The Naramata Bench property has a few gift box options including a nice, mixed, half-case of their red releases but for something a little different, why not "go big" with a handsomely packaged magnum of their flagship wine for $119?:
