On this week's show, Sam Pfeiffer, owner and director of Whistler Wines, discusses his family's long association with Penfolds and the unique gift his father received upon retirement. We taste two outstanding value wines, the 2024 Atypical Shiraz and 2023 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, both worthy additions to your shopping list. We also take you inside the tasting room at the 2026 National Wine Awards of Canada, where judges and panel captains Janet Dorozynski and Michael Godel share their perspectives on this year's competition. This week we focus on the sparkling wine and rosé categories and examine how B.C. wineries performed against the national field. We wrap up the show with an update from Summerland as Okanagan Crush Pad co-owner Christine Coletta discusses what is happening behind the scenes in Summerland and at Haywire Winery and Garnet Valley Ranch Winery, and how consumers can support the region moving forward.
