Big BC Wine News: Exciting Changes for TIME Winery, Evolve Cellars, and McWatters Collection #bcwine @winebcdotcom @timewinery @evolvecellars

I’m sure many of us in the wine trade and lovers of BC wine wondered what would happen to TIME Winery, Evolve Cellars, and McWatters Collection after the very unexpected passing of Harry McWatters.  Now we know.  Today it was announced that these 3 wineries have been sold to a local BC family.  Here is the press release.

Exciting Changes for TIME Winery, Evolve Cellars, and McWatters…

When you haven’t travelled in 4 1/2 months a day trip to Naramata as an early Bday present is just the BEST! We did a round trip from the Shuswap to Naramata with pit stops at many wineries along the way. Here's my itinerary and photos to match. Stop #1 at Bliss Bakery & Bistro in Peachland for a coffee fill up Stop #2 Okanagan Crush Pad to buy wine #roseallday and say hello to Row 38 aka Leeann Andrew & Nate Stop #3 Blossom Fruit Stand to buy fresh BC fruit like Apricots & Cherries Stop #4 Lunch with Christa-Lee McWatters at TIME Winery & Kitchen and of course, I bought wine. Stop #5 Wine & Cheese shopping at Upper Bench Estate Winery - we loaded up here Stop #6 Singletree Winery to buy wine, unfortunately, they sold of Rose so had to pick a cpl other options. Stop #7 we drove into the town of Naramata and have a lovely rest along the water. Stop #8 dinner at Naramata Inn and a lovely quick visit with Ned Bell. Man did I miss his cooking. @okcrushpad @naramatainn @upperbench @timewinery @singletreewine @naramatawines @hellobc @travelmediaca #tmactravel #explorebc #explorebcnow #okanagan @visitpenticton https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_wkIVhXWZ/?igshid=duhxkagu934u

It was truly a sad day in the BC wine community yesterday, July 23, 2019, when we were all shocked by the sudden passing of Harry McWatters.  A pioneer who helped lead the wine for quality BC wine.  I met with Harry casually during the Vancouver International Wine Festivals, where he was always busy, but always smiling.  I had a chance…

Discover the Wines of Canada

Canada should be proud of its recent wine history.  We started getting serious about vitis vinifera in the 1970s.  BC and Ontario started growing wine grapes and producing wines.  Nova Scotia and Quebec have followed, and I heard, but have not seen, that there are also wines being produced in New Brunswick.  Our climate since the 1970s has warmed up so we are also…

BC’s father daughter team of Harry McWatters and Christa-Lee McWatters-Bond have collaborated to produce two lines of wine lately; Evolve Cellars and McWatters Collection.  For me Evolve Cellar’s wines are meant to be young and fresh and easy to drink, while McWatters Collection has more structured wines that you can put in your cellar for many years and enjoy. I received a few new releases from…
