BC Wine Appreciation Society Cellarmaster, and fan of local wine and the people who make it happen! For obvious reasons I don't "tweet" (xweet?) much anymore.

What's with all the Club-exclusive (and sold out) wines winning medals @WineAlign Nationals this year? I thought they had to be publicly available to be entered?

Two and a half hours into the @bcliquorstores spirits release, lol. Although to be fair, the website was just non-functional entirely for the first half hour.

Why am I seeing 2018 & 2020 Portfolio on store shelves, while 2019 is the current release on @lfngwine website? Never saw that vintage at all...

Millennia from now archeologists will hit a layer of little plastic produce stickers in the earth and know they've hit the 21st century.

A weekend in the shadow of @MissionHillWine seems like as good a time as any for an Oculus vertical: 2005-2010

My @AirCanada flight (463) was cancelled last night well after boarding, but the crew kept us fully informed and provided a reasonable and detailed explanation - very little grumbling amongst passengers, so #creditwheredue

I finally formally joined the @corcelettes Club and my first shipment just came with electrolytes - serendipitous as I'm scheduled to donate to @CanadasLifeline this very afternoon!

When there's a bit of live yeast remaining and it begins re-fermenting on a shelf and then explodes one morning. @TwinSailsBeer keeping things exciting!

New releases from @corcelettes looking beautiful this morning. The updated flagship Talus packaging is exceptional, worthy of the wine inside!

Power outage @osoyoosbc reveals no emergency lighting in halls or stairwells @WatermarkResort plus many red EXIT signs unlit, unconscionable #deathtrap

Did we just watch a new wildfire start just north of Osoyoos? Big smoke plume now easily visible from town.

Why do tax filing websites always crash on April 30? It's a predictable, well-known busy day yet this happens every year.

In what world does it make sense for a national provider like @Aeroplan to shut their phone lines at 5:30pm eastern? Does @AirCanada stop flying out of @yvrairport by mid-afternoon?
