FOR ART-LOVING DADS Does your dad’s garage or man den resemble a woodworking shop? Perhaps he cherishes leisurely visits to museums and galleries or admires both the art of British Columbia’s First Nations and the artistry of fine BC wine. If he ticks any of those boxes, here’s a treasured artifact to gift him.
Tantalus Reimer Vineyard Pinot Noir $39.99 BC VQA 692960
A sunny, higher-elevation vineyard yields Pinot Noir with cherry and violet notes, graphite minerality and elegant tannins.
Tantalus Vineyards proprietor Eric Savics is a long-time collector of Tahltan-Tlingit artist Dempsey Bob’s work, which also rests in the National Gallery of Canada and the Smithsonian Institution. Tantalus labels feature photographs of Dempsey Bob’s expressive carved masks. They are as vivid and timeless as wine from a stellar Okanagan vineyard that has been cultivated for nearly a century.
THE PERFECT ADD-ON: Okanagan cheese from a maker such as Upper Bench Creamery.
