Episode 231 – Sip, Sustain, Repeat: The Roche Wines Story

In todays episode, Shelley and Phil sit down with another winery from their Penticton trip in August, Dylan Roche with Roche Wines. Along with his wife, Pénélope, they produce amazing wines and we get to taste through 6 of them on this episode. As we said last week, make the effort to venture across the border and sample some of these, and other wines, from this area. You won’t be sorry! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing #DodgingSnowstorms
