Ever wondered how wine is made? This video is an adventure, a comic romp through the various stages of wine production from initial netting to pruning of the vines many months later.
Storyboard Productions filmed the process over a year highlighting the behind-the-scenes antics of three main characters, owner John Galvina, Rob Ludwig and actor, writer Roark Critchlow as they navigate the choppy seas of wine making.
The Location
Giant Head Estate Winery is a stunning winery in Summerland, BC overlooking the Kettle Valley Railway and Okanagan Lake. This year marks the first year for production on Jinny Lee’s Canyonview Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grapes from five miles up the road.

Prairie Valley Lodge, Summerland, BC
The Prairie Valley Lodge in Summerland, BC is a care facility that takes the word 'care' seriously. This little film embodies the gentle, upbeat and even humourous atmosphere of the lodge as it follows the efforts of a man (Frank) trying to find a new home for his somewhat cantankerous dad (Francis Sr.).
It can be a difficult and worrisome task, but while the story does not minimize the strain aging can have on a parent/child relationship, it does track the journey with a deft touch. There is clearly love between the two and a genuine desire on the part of Frank to get Francis the best care possible, despite dad's reluctance to change.
He finds the Prairie Valley Lodge and is captured by it's charm, personal touch and non-institutional approach. When he does manage to bring his dad to the facility, Francis is also beguiled... though still a bit crusty.
Funny, honest, at times touching and definitely positive, the movie mirrors the unique approach of the lodge itself.

Tips of the Trade By Somms for Somms with Marion Randall and Rick Beard
Much attention these days is given to sommeliers for their encyclopedic knowledge of obscure wine regions or their prowess at identifying wines in blind tasting. Many sommeliers believe that the road to success is build through hours pouring over maps and books and endless tasting practice. The truth behind all of this is that the sommelier's real job is to run a successful and profitable wine program for their restaurant, meet budgets and make their guests happy. In this, there is no teacher like hands-on experience. 'Tips of the Trade' is a show by somms for somms. We bring together the best in the business to share their insight in how to best solve the problems that occur in the day to day running of a successful beverage program. Join us to learn insight into building a great wine list, how to work with vendors, and best ways to interact with guests and staff to make your program the most successful and indispensable part of the restaurant. Join us every second Monday of each month as we welcome a special guest to discuss ways to be a better sommelier and share some fun stories of life on the floor. Today, joining Scott Barber are Rick Beard and Marion Randall from Groezinger Wine Merchants in Yountville Ca.
