2025 Lazy River Vineyard Gamay
This Similkameen classic is a lovely reminder that a wine doesn't need to be complicated to be interesting. Crunchy red berries, juicy Bing cherries, and just a whisper of tobacco and stony minerality give it plenty of personality without getting in the way of its greatest talent: being ridiculously drinkable. Give it a slight chill, put out some good charcuterie, and enjoy the sort of wine that makes you forget you were supposed to be tasting it critically.
