NEWS FROM UNSWORTH VINEYARDS

What’s Buzzing in The Vineyard

Unsworth also welcomed Viticulturist, Felix Egerer, to the team in November. Felix has spent years in the Okanagan pushing the boundaries of sustainable and regenerative viticulture. Now that Felix has made Cowichan home, we will share our many sustainable and regenerative initiatives as we roll them out. Unsworth has long been stewards of our environment and community and will continue to deepen our commitment to biodiversity and no-till farming, all while practicing a precision approach to the use of tractors and off-farm amendments and inputs. Felix sees our farm as one living, breathing entity and strives to not only minimize our impact, but leave our air, water, and soil healthier than we found it. All of this will also ensure the wines will only continue to improve! We will be launching a new sustainability page on our website illustrating all the exciting initiatives as they unfold.

BLACK ANGUS CELTIC MUSIC AT OSBORNE BAY PUB

Black Angus is about good friends, good humour, and good songs. Their enthusiastic performances take listeners from Vancouver Island to Ireland and back again, fueled by collaboration, innovation, and a sheer enjoyment of what they do.

Black Angus offers a variety of material from foot-stomping folk songs to poignant lyrical poetry. Their variety of ensembles, centred around the duo of Gareth Hurwood and Alex MacCuaig, offer great stage presence and a camaraderie that is instantly communicated to audiences. Black Angus is devoted to the authenticity of “good songs” that speak to their artistic hearts, and is near-impossible to pigeon-hole: traditional & contemporary Irish, acoustic roots, Americana, West Coast Celtic, blues, and old-time are all part of the Black Angus sound.
