And when you do see your first bottle, you’ll probably gasp like everybody else does. This is a BC wine label? But it’s so … outrageous, colourful, cartoony, off-the-wall, and – this is the clincher – nothing at all like a BC wine label.

Brent & Derrick

For over 25 years, Brent Hayman managed some of the finest white tablecloth restaurants in Vancouver. By moonlight, he also doubled as the unofficial Ambassador for the emerging BC wine industry.

A few years back, a Wine Sales Rep extraordinaire named Christine, dropped by his restaurant to sell him wine, and he decided to go for the full acquisition by marrying her just as well. (Now that’s salesmanship!). Christine and Brent recently welcomed Rian to their family.

Brent recently jumped over the fence to the sales side of the business. A great win for Blasted Church, and for the new league of Sommeliers who have so much to learn from Ambassador Hayman.

Always positive and upbeat, Derrick Cousins is our other sales member of the Blasted Church Dynamic Duo. Derrick absolutely loves all aspects of the winery business and can be found “hanging around” the winery on his well deserved time off.

Derrick recently moved from Bowen Island to Vancouver. On Bowen Island he converted all the surrounding neighbourhood establishments to Blasted Church wines. His goal now is to do likewise in Vancouver. Knowing Derrick, he might well achieve this!
