Chain Reaction Winery

End of a beautiful day! #Bcwinechat

@Divinetourskam @SandraOldfield @CBeaton1 @paulrickett Aww thanks Terri! Sorry I’m lurking tonight as I just got in from the vineyard and needed wine and chill time! #Bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield @CBeaton1 @paulrickett End of an era? I have certainly enjoyed recommendations and discovered new wineries like @chainreactwine #bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield Yeah it’s digital printing so each year we can change it up. And Joel does the graphics so no cost there. We have just printed our first two labels with AI generated art!! #Bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield @OccupyMedic One glass? $29?!! #Bcwinechat

@paulrickett Did Ramification increase by 50%? #Bcwinechat

@chainreactwine You mean if Ramification Cellars increase their price by 50% you can too? :-D <sorry, bad taste humour> Have bottle prices come down from 2021/22? #BCwinechat

#BCWinechat Q4 - 50%!!! you betcha it would impact. A couple of wineries did that last year - but with good reasons. No reason for an industry across the board increase of that magnitude in one fell swoop. Might be up 50% over 5 years

@SandraOldfield Oh… I have so many thoughts on this as a producer. We have been through the ringer with judges not liking our labels but consumers loving them. So it’s an evolution. We personally live talking about our labels and the story behind each one in our tastings. #Bcwinechat

@TheMattBurns @SandraOldfield Matt, you need to come visit us 😀 #bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield We have lots of wines in the $20-25 range 😄 #bcwinechat

@paulrickett @SandraOldfield Yes Naramata got off lightly when it came to the “big freeze”. Our grapes primarily come from Naramata (our two vineyards), Kaleden and a bit of cab franc from Osoyoos. #Bcwinechat

@chainreactwine @SandraOldfield Indeed not. Wonder whether people are interpreting the freeze impact as something that has immediate rather than medium term impact. Lots of 2022 and prior around. And Naramata impacted relatively lightly I hear. #BCWinechat

@CBeaton1 Oh good to hear! Lol Tandem has been selling wel. Love seeing you walk up from the KVR! #Bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield Ugh, as a producer, not sure I want to see the answers to this. And yet our costs have gone up a lot, and we are trying to keep prices low. #Bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield No, we only go where it takes as little time as possible to visit other wineries #bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield Q2: close to home - Naramata bench. Or Kaleden. Rarely get to Oliver/Osoyoos or Kelowna or Similkameen anymore. And Vancouver/Island definitely not! #Bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield We are finding some people booking appointments, but most just walk in #bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield Q1 - less due to lack of time and money. Seems to be on par with the industry right now… #bcwinechat

@SandraOldfield @Sam_WineTeacher @PeakCellars @rustwinery Wow that’s a lot of Gew! #Bcwinechat

#BCWineChat. Why don’t I drink Gewürztraminer more often? Recently, opened @PeakCellars and @rustwinery. Tonight @chainreactwine. All so different, but very good in their own way. Very versatile.

@JasonMooreCPA @SandraOldfield My hometown! #Bcwinechat
