Stoneboat's 2nd Lieutenant Governor's Award- 2007 Pinotage

We are honoured to receive this award for a second year in a row for our 2007 Pinotage. The award will be presented by the Honourable Stephen Point, Lt. Governor of British Columbia, on Thursday July 30. We will be closed that day from 12:30-3:30pm for the ceremony.

We enter very few competitions on an annual basis- there are far too many- however this one is exceptional because it is among the most rigourous. A panel of expert judges evaluates each wine (this year there were 250) against all others- in other words, Pinots don't just compete against Pinots or reds, they compete with everything else entered. The top 10 or 11 of the lot are selected to receive the award.

Our New Website

Welcome to our updated website. We will frequently be posting updates in the news section of the site. Stoneboat is also now on Twitter, Facebook and Flickr.

The wine shop opened in early May and has been busy ever since. Our 2007 reds have been released and are now available. This year's Faux Pas Rosé is the best we have ever made, and was recently one of 6 rosés (out of 66) rated as "outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest Magazine. It is also available to order.

An abysmal winter and early spring have given way to some of the finest bloom weather we have seen in a long time. Though things are still a bit behind in the vineyard, the vines are impressing us with their ability to catch up. If the weather continues to behave, we'll probably regain the time lost during our cold spring.

Our secure online ordering system is still under construction, but it will be online soon. Thanks to everyone for your patience in ordering the "old fashioned" way.
