Aww thanks Terri! Sorry I’m lurking tonight as I just got in from the vineyard and needed wine and chill time! #Bcwinechat
Yeah it’s digital printing so each year we can change it up. And Joel does the graphics so no cost there. We have just printed our first two labels with AI generated art!! #Bcwinechat
Oh… I have so many thoughts on this as a producer. We have been through the ringer with judges not liking our labels but consumers loving them. So it’s an evolution. We personally live talking about our labels and the story behind each one in our tastings. #Bcwinechat
Our software supplier increased their price by 50% this year. Unbelievable. And yet we can’t increase wine prices by 50% without ramification. #Bcwinechat
Yes Naramata got off lightly when it came to the “big freeze”. Our grapes primarily come from Naramata (our two vineyards), Kaleden and a bit of cab franc from Osoyoos. #Bcwinechat
Oh good to hear! Lol Tandem has been selling wel. Love seeing you walk up from the KVR! #Bcwinechat
Ugh, as a producer, not sure I want to see the answers to this. And yet our costs have gone up a lot, and we are trying to keep prices low. #Bcwinechat
Lol my complaint is from the other side. Visitors are down, and that’s not good for us all producers! #Bcwinechat
No, we only go where it takes as little time as possible to visit other wineries #bcwinechat
Q2: close to home - Naramata bench. Or Kaleden. Rarely get to Oliver/Osoyoos or Kelowna or Similkameen anymore. And Vancouver/Island definitely not! #Bcwinechat
We are finding some people booking appointments, but most just walk in #bcwinechat
Q1 - less due to lack of time and money. Seems to be on par with the industry right now… #bcwinechat
Thanks Sam! I hope you enjoyed it. Our 2019 Gew was our #2 best selling wine last year after our award winning 2020 Pinot Noir. Pretty crazy! The 2022 Gew is right up there too with people who don’t normally like Gew. #Bcwinechat
