    From Penticton, my friend and I decided to the long way home to Vancouver via Hwy 3 so we could…read morevisit Robin Ridge Winery as it has been on my friend's to-do-list. Boy, oh boy, we were not disappointed. Robin Ridge Winery is situated in the stunning Similkameen Valley. The 100% estate-grown, organic fruit is crafted into small quantities of high quality wine. I don't know how they do it (maybe with lots of love and also being certified organic!) but they produce intense and quality flavour wines. I enjoyed all the four wines from the tasting which starts with a white to rose and finishing with the intense Gamay red. Their "famous" 2020 Flamingo was not on the tasting menu as stock was getting low. I took the plunge and bought this rosé as it was not sold in the BC VQA while the other rosé, Flicker, and the Chardonnay were. The staff informed us that the rosé wines were named for birds starting with the letter F. How cute! Price points for the wines were surprisingly amazing for the high level flavours and also being a certified organic vineyard. My friend was so pleased , 2 more bottles came home with us. If you are visiting the Similkameen Valley, I strong suggest you stop by. The Chardonnay, Rosé (Flicker) and Gamay were the winners for me and others also agree as there are many winning medals displayed. I look forward to my next return and will be telling my family and friends about this spectacular winery that has it all and maybe some more surprises down the road.

    Robin Ridge is a cute little winery in the Similkameen Valley. I first came here when they were…read morehaving a winery fun day, which is when they imitated Cock Robin and let the kids run around the premises, and set up a little archery game for all the kids to enjoy. That kind of family relaxing atmosphere is absolutely great, firstly, and I really like it. The proprietors of the winery are very friendly and the tasting desk is very well-versed in their wines. They usually have up to 8 different wines available for taste and aren't pretentiously charging huge fees like other parts of B.C. (I'm looking at you, Black Hills). In fact, they charge none at all! But you will almsot definitely walk out with something that you like. They have a huge array of reds and whites. In particular, I remember their Flamingo, which is a rose they made from their 15 year old son experimenting with table grapes (I'm guessing for a science experiment? Or for what 15 year olds always want to do, which is make their own wine?). The Flamingo is refreshing and sugarier than most roses, which is a perfect kind of summer wine to relax with. It also reflects that table grape kind of consistency. What keeps me coming back is one of the best medium reds in the province, their Gamay. A lovely wine that matched well with all manner of cheese that I could fling at it, this wine has a beautiful brooding dark fruit aroma but none of the insane amount of body that cabernet sauvignon or syrah carries with it. It's kind of like a merlot, but exciting. Actually, their merlot's quite good too... Definitely check out this place before heading out to Osoyoos. You won't regret it.
