The Heart of the Mountain (TV Movie)

Signed, Sealed, Delivered star Kristin Booth is back in British Columbia for her latest project, The Heart of the Mountain. The movie is part of this year’s Winterfest original movie series from the Hallmark Channel which airs throughout January.

The story of The Heart of the Mountain was developed by Kristin and her husband Tim Ware. Tim also wrote the script for the movie, and Kristin is serving as the executive producer. Not much has been officially revealed about the plotline, however it looks like it will be a love story closely tied to skiing or snowboarding. The first couple days of production were spent at Mad Dog’s, a ski and snowboard shop on Montrose Avenue in downtown Abbotsford. Kristin also revealed via Instagram that the movie would be spending time filming at Manning Park Ski Resort, which is just off the Crowsnest Pass between Hope and Princeton.

Location scouting today for Heart Of The Mountain @hallmarkchannel . . . #bc #manningpark #locationscout #hallmark #mow #movie #timware #skimovie #ski #skiing #winter #chairlift #mountain #theheartofthemountain #executiveproducer #winterfest

It sounds like Kristin will make an appearance in the movie, but the stars are Kristy Swanson (Dude, Where’s My Car?, Psych) and Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Supergirl).

Kristy shared a behind the scenes look at the movie via her Instagram:

We’ll update this article if more information about The Heart of the Mountain is revealed. The Heart of the Mountain will continue filming in British Columbia until December 8th.

Frozen in Love (TV Movie)

Like The Heart of the Mountain, Frozen in Love is part of Hallmark’s Winterfest lineup that will be airing in January. Again, the storyline hasn’t been released, but it’s sure to be set in a winter wonderland. The production scouted the Revelstoke area, where Hallmark’s Marry Me at Christmas filmed earlier this year.

In an interview with Ruth Hill at My Devotional Thoughts, writer Rick Garman revealed that Frozen In Love will star Rachael Leigh Cook (She’s All That), and it’s a story based on her original idea. Rachael spent the month of June in British Columbia filming another Hallmark movie called Summer in the Vineyard. It was the follow-up to Autumn in the Vineyard, which also filmed in the province in 2015.

We’ll update this article if more information about Frozen in Love is revealed. Frozen in Love will continue filming in British Columbia until December 8th.

Holy Crowsnest!  I've been very impressed with the wines from @crowsnestvineyardscawston here in the #Similkameen Valley in BC.  Today I tried 2 Merlots.  One is their 2016 Merlot and the other their 2014 Family Reserve Merlot.  Youth and maturity!   First, for youth, the Crowsnest Vineyards Merlot 2016 is deep garnet in colour, about 90% opaque, translucent to the core.  It has youthful, medium intensity aromas that are quite fruity with ripe plums and miscellaneous red fruits, along with prominent sweet spices, nutmeg in particular. This wine is slightly off-dry with a lighter overall feel with acidity tannins and alcohol. It is round and silky smooth with medium body.  Mostly ripe plums and sweet spices with a lesser amount of red fruits.  I pick up minerality and pepperiness on the mid-palate that continues to the finish.  Light oak.  It has a medium-plus length finishing peppery with red fruit and red cherries and nutmeg.  Slightly off-dry finish.  A youthful fruity Merlot. Next, for maturity, the Crowsnest Vineyards Family Reserve Merlot 2014 is deep garnet in colour with slight bricking.  It is approximately 95% opaque and translucent to the core.  Medium-plus intensity developing aromas showing cedar, leather, ripe black fruit and plus, with lesser amounts of kirsch cherries and vanilla.  A deep, expressive nose.  This wine is dry and round, fuller-bodied with a silky mouthfeel.  The tannins are firmer than in the 2016 with some chalkiness.  Red fruit, tea leaves, cedar or Old World oak, and a mix of ripe red and black fruits.  A hint of floral and a touch of sweet spices.  It gets a little peppery on the mid-palate but then fades before the finish.  A longer finish with lots of lingering red fruits and cedar, a touch of sweet oak.  Drying tannins on the finish but still overall soft.  A classic mature Merlot to drink right now.

Unexpected Wines from Crowsnest Vineyards in the Similkameen Valley

Unexpected Wines from @CrowsnestWines in the #Similkameen Valley #organicsimilkameen #Riesling #Merlot #BCwine @winebcdotcom

Crowsnest Vineyards is located near Cawston in the SimilkameenValley in south-central BC.  This valley is cooler-climate with the valley running east-west and a breeze that passes through it to help give the valley it’s character.  I was surprised that I had not tried their wines before or knew much about them, and regret it.  The winery was established in 1995 so is now 25 years old and will…
