Wine Reviews with Shelley Boettcher in Castanet featured Hatfield’s Fuse 2024, and we thank her for noticing how smart we are, as she writes:

“Why drink it? Clever, clever, the team at Blasted Church. It has taken the Okanagan’s winter 2024 woes and turned them into art, hiding signs on the 2024 labels of their cross-border partnership with a Washington vineyard. (It also says, in big block letters: “GROWN IN WASHINGTON STATE.” Print so large, I could read it without bifocals.)

“Made with fruit grown at Andrews Family Vineyards in Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills, this blend of Pinot Gris, Viognier and Riesling is juicy, fresh, medium-bodied, well-balanced and loaded with a rich fruit bowl of flavours—mandarin, red apple, peach, pear.”

Cheers, Shelley! We love your music pairing, too!
