Winter always arrives with a quiet kind of magic; a delicate shimmer of frost in the early morning sun or a sudden refreshing nip of cool, crisp air. It’s a season of contrast: dark, cold landscapes brightened by festive twinkling lights.

In this issue, we explore the beauty found at the edge of the season, where cold meets comfort and tradition meets evolution. From gifting and entertaining ideas to festive holiday recipes, cozy fireside drinks and more, we invite you to discover what makes winter truly unforgettable.

So, celebrate the season and remember to embrace the elegance of winter’s edge.

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, a certain magic settles over British Columbia (BC). From sea to sky, fall invites us to reconnect with the land.

This issue is an ode to BC, featuring local businesses and seasonal cocktails, harvest inspired Thanksgiving feasts, and cozy and simple mid-week meals rooted in seasonal BC flavours. In the spirit of local, we raise a glass to two highly anticipated events: the 40th anniversary of the Bordeaux Release and the 20th anniversary of the Premium Spirit Release.

This fall, embrace the season, get into the True North spirit and celebrate everything that makes life in BC truly special.

This summer, don’t be afraid of a little heat! These past months, we’ve seen the resilience of the Canadian spirit. We’ve proven that when things get heated, we will stand strong and firm, together.

This issue, we showcase Canadian brands and local businesses we can all get behind, including BC wineries, breweries and refreshment beverage companies. Look for ways to support BC and Canada at your next summer social, whether that’s with a nod to Canadian classics, like the spicy Caesar, or by purchasing BC and Canadian spirits and other locally sourced ingredients.

We’ve set you up with recipes and pairings to help you embrace the heat as well as keep your cool for the coming months. So, this season, bring on the heat. We can take it!
