When you own a small business and always work hard to do your best, it is rewarding and much appreciated when your customers take the time to put it in print and thank you with a testimonial. Thank you Paloma and Ryan. #testimonials #localbusiness #willowpointwinesuvin #willowpoint #campbellriverbc #winemaking #weddingwine #weddings #wedding #sparklingwine #customwine

Well what a wonderful surprise this was. When you run a shop where customers bring in their own fruit to make wine, you never know what you are going to have come in the door. I found out today that my employee had rolled his eyes and was a little skeptical when the customers started this wine and they left a little concerned but committed to continue. There was a stuck fermentation so it took longer than usual which caused more concern because there were “problems “ with it. So when they came in to finally bottle their sparkling wine they arrived with a little apprehension. Well... it turns out that it is probably the most spectacular, deliciously refreshing wine bottled in my shop this year!!! WOW was the first word spoken by everyone that tried it, followed by “That is delicious!” Thank you for your trust and patience, allowing me to make the best possible product with what ever you bring in. I am now ready for the next challenge. Bring on the 2018 fruit harvest!

Weekend on Quadra Island and I had my first blackberries of the year. The first berry on the end of the bunch is known here as the “king berry” and when you pick it it triggers the rest of the berries to ripen. So start picking now. As long as the weather holds and the berries are picked the bush will keep producing more. 30 pounds makes 30 bottles of wine. #willowpointwinesuvin #campbellriverbc #blackberries #fruit #fruitwine #winemaking #blackberrywine #harvesttime
