Chain Reaction Vineyard
The new French doors are installed and look great The new French doors are installed and look great - thanks @showtimehomerepair! Unfortunately we didn’t know that the inside floor wasn’t level with the outside sidewalk. Apparently wheelchairs aren’t supposed to do wheelies to get into a business so it looks like we have another project on our hands... #chainreactionwine #naramatabench #bcwine #okanaganwine #renovations
So excited to have the dynamic duo of Sunny and Ti So excited to have the dynamic duo of Sunny and Tijana from @showtimehomerepair here today to replace this big window with some French doors in our soon to be tasting room! It’s going to look awesome! #chainreactionwine #bcwine #okanaganwine #womenintrades #naramatabench #tastingroom
New blog post up on the site "The Face of Success" New blog post up on the site "The Face of Success". I know many people think the face of success in the wine industry is that great black tie event – hair perfectly groomed, perfectly fitted tux or ballroom gown. You might be surprised to see what the face of success actually looks like! See Blog link in bio. #chainreactionwine #vineyard #bcwine #naramatabench #bcwinery #okanaganwine #gettingdirty
Our niece Natasha is killing it! Posted @withregra Our niece Natasha is killing it! Posted @withregram • @ridelikeagirl.ca Have you met Natasha yet?! Get to know her a little better in the article up on nsmb.com She shares a couple goals that are really motivating her this year: “To land a flip bar and compete in the B.C. Cup downhill”. This girl can shred! We can’t wait to see you rip it up this year, Natasha! 📸 @blackbird_works #mtb #mtbgirls #barspin #chainreactionwine #girlswhoshred #nsmba #nsmb
Spring is around the corner so that means it’s t Spring is around the corner so that means it’s time to prune the vines! We are very happy to have @thesugarwash (our assistant winemaker) helping us out in the vineyard on weekends. Last year it was hard to prune our leased vineyard because we didn’t have any history with it and we had to hit the ground running once we took over the lease on April 1st. Now that we have gotten to know the vineyard, we have a much better strategy for regenerating vigor and growth. We were very pleased with the quality of the fruit from our first year in this vineyard and look forward to making it even better this year! Pruning of our home vineyard will be done last to ensure there’s no longer any frost risk which could still harm our more sensitive young vines. #chainreactionwine #vineyard #bcwine #okanaganwine #okanaganwinery #bcwinery #naramatabench #naramata #penticton
Who’s ready to taste some Chain Reaction wine??? Who’s ready to taste some Chain Reaction wine??? We finally got our tasting room renovation permit approved! It has taken a lot to get to this point - lots of communication with the city since last fall. Our former Airbnb suite will become our new tasting room - at least for the short term. Renovations will be modest but include required wheelchair accessibility, enhanced fire protection and new French doors. #chainreactionwine #naramatabench #bcwine #wine #okanaganwine #naramata #winetasting #renovation #tastingroom #newwinery
Many of you have been asking when our wines will b Many of you have been asking when our wines will be ready for sale.  I wish we had a better answer than we're targeting this spring (2021). But in order to sell our wines, we need a manufacturer's license.  And in order to get that license, we need a production facility approved by various levels of government.  Simple, right? For the next year, and possibly two years, we plan to make wine at the back of our property in a temporary 'quonset hut' winery that will eventually become a storage shed.  The trick will be to construct this building and run the necessary utilities to it without breaking the bank because we would rather invest in our permanent winery.  This will be a really modest 600 square foot steel building on a concrete slab which will serve us well as an interim facility.  Once we're past the risk of frost in the next month or so, we will be working with our contractor to break ground and get this going! #chainreactionwine #naramatabench #bcwine #wine #okanaganwine #newwinery

Introducing our new website!! We have spent the la Introducing our new website!! We have spent the last couple of weeks figuring out how to build it, so please check it out! Link in bio. We look forward to being able to add our online wine shop to it this spring when we get our license. For now, you will have to be entertained with stories and pictures of us 😀 There’s also a gallery with pictures of planting our vineyard. Since some of our friends and family are in the photos, please let us know if you have any objections. And not just for bad hair days 🤣 #chainreactionwine #bcwine #bcwinery #okanaganwine #okanaganwinery #naramatabench #naramata #penticton #visitpenticton #explorebc
Introducing the new Chain Reaction winery logo! T Introducing the new Chain Reaction winery logo! This logo encapsulates our love of cycling, cleverly incorporates our initials and has Linda’s favorite color which coincidentally is also the color of grapes 🍇 and wine🍷! And it might just represent Joel going very fast on his triathlon bike 🚲 😆 We may still make a few tweaks to the logo (including another version adding Winery below Chain Reaction) but we ❤️ it. What do you think? #chainreactionwine #bcwine #okanaganwine #okanaganwinery #naramatabench #logo #naramata #penticton #newwinery
It’s a new year and changes are coming! New log It’s a new year and changes are coming! New logo and website!!! We started working on branding last winter. We designed our logo (which we love) but then we couldn’t agree on a font for “Chain Reaction”. We have literally downloaded several hundred fonts trying to find that one that we are madly in love with. Then we got busy with the vineyards and it fell to the back burner. Fast forward a year and it looks like we are much more in agreement - woo hoo! I (Linda) have also been updating our website. I wish I could add the online store but that will have to wait until we get our license. Lots is happening on that front too! Stay tuned!!! #chainreactionwine #bcwine #okanaganwine #naramatabench
The snow finally melted and it was a beautiful day The snow finally melted and it was a beautiful day for a walk on the #KVR trail. It never gets tiring to see our house and vineyard in the background from the McCulloch trestle bridge!!! #chainreactionwine #bcwine #okanaganwine #kettlevalleytrail #lovelocks #mccullochtrestle
The Chain Reaction Riesling paired really well wit The Chain Reaction Riesling paired really well with our New Years Eve dinner of lobster, prawns and risotto! The sweetness of the Riesling complemented the lobster and the acidity helped balance the yummy melted lemon butter! #chainreactionwine #riesling #bcwine #okanaganwine #naramatabench #winepairing #lobster #chefjoel
Well thank god 2020 is in the rear view mirror!! 2 Well thank god 2020 is in the rear view mirror!! 2021 will be a big year for us and we are so ready for it! 🎉 🎊 Cheers everyone - we hope 2021 brings you everything your heart desires! Fun fact: our sparkling wine is named “Midnight” and is perfect for (socially responsible) New Years Eve celebrations! 🥂 🍾 Can’t wait to share it with you all (and the story of why it is called Midnight!). #chainreactionwine #newyear #newyear2021 #newyearseve #midnight #bcwine #okanaganwine #sparklingwine #pentictonfireworks

What a difference 24 hrs makes! Yesterday we were What a difference 24 hrs makes! Yesterday we were doing some trellis maintenance in the sunshine sans jackets. Penticton was the warmest place in Canada and set a new record of 13.6 degrees! Today was - well let’s just say we weren’t outside working on the trellis today. #chainreactionwine #vineyard #bcwine #okanaganwine #snow
And so the road to Ironman Canada 🇨🇦 2021 be And so the road to Ironman Canada 🇨🇦 2021 begins! Joel did his first swim 🏊‍♂️ in 9 months on Friday and today we got back into our winter routine of spinning! 🚴 We miss the old days of spinning at “Le Garage” (especially the pot luck breakfast afterwards!), but it was still nice to see some familiar and new faces from @stevestonathleticassociation on this morning’s awesome Zoom training session by @bee3fitness. Time will tell if he is able to keep up training for the race while juggling the demands of two vineyards and opening our winery, but we will have our fingers crossed. 🤞 In the meantime, we definitely earned our wine tonight!!! #chainreactionwine #spinning #triathlete #triathlon #cycling #ironman #ironmancanada #sweaty
