Natural Wines

Sitting down with a bottle of Natural wine

Many things go into selecting a wine for our menu. Often I love to source for wineries that have a female led team, not only is it a reflection of us as a restaurant (we are female led and run) but also support them as women support women. Small intimate wineries that don’t produce large amounts of wine have the ability to focus more on each batch and can develop relationships with the wine and produce the best they can. Natural wines are often in smaller quantities and more unique in how each winery highlights each grape to its natural characteristics.

Sitting down here in this picture with Plot, getting to know the process and how the wines came about is inspiring to see small batches come into a bottle and taste amazing without the heavy highlight tag of natural that typically in the wine world could shade the actual quality of the wine and hide behind the natural brand. Plot makes excellent wine, a group of 3 friends make wine in their free time. One of the friends is Jamie, she’s a mom and inspiring. So of course we love supporting them and their wine. This goes for many wines that are in the Okanagan Valley, BC. our backyard and local place of excellent wines.
