Say Goodbye to Confusing Wine Choices

Are you a wine drinker in B.C. who is tired of the same wine choices?  Would you like to try something different, but feel overwhelmed by the parade of labels at your local wine store? Let me help you find that "really good" bottle of wine in the same price range to enjoy and share with friends.

Having been in and around wine, including professionally, in British Columbia for 45 years, I have given wine suggestions and practical wine tips to my family, friends and guests such as "Buy this wine, it's great value" "OK, here's the deal on decanting" or "a really good wine to go with roast chicken".

I created this newsletter to give British Columbia wine drinkers greater choice, value, knowledge and enjoyment from wine.

Paid Newsletter

Wine Bargains B.C. for paid subscribers ($8.99 CAD/month), is published, about twice a month. You will get a number of Wine Picks (often on sale & information on when that sale ends) in a range of styles as well as information on finding the store nearest you where you can purchase. It also includes a few simple illustrated Pro Wine Tips and/or answers to common wine questions such as:

Tips for Storing Open Wine

What Are Tannins in Wine?

What Does It Mean to Say a Wine is Corked?.

Free Newsletter

There will also be a regular free newsletter (The Free One) going out to all subscribers and it will contain helpful wine information, tips, ideas and my thoughts on various wine subjects but are different to the ones in the paid subscription. So there is plenty for free subscribers too.

Wine Bargains & Tips For You At The Right Pace

When you subscribe, you will not be bombarded with giant text blocks of information and too many choices. Wine is a big subject, takes time and should be a lot of fun and a little learning. And you can’t fully learn about wine without pulling corks! My newsletter helps you do both.

Note, I am NOT affiliated with or compensated by any wine retailer, wine wholesaler, wine agent, winery or other company.  There is no paid advertising. This newsletter is supported only by monthly subscriptions, enabling me to focus on sharing the best value Wine Picks and my Pro Wine Tips knowledge with you.
