11/2/2023 | All through the chilly season, Sociale Enoteca by Villa Rosa will be hosting a series of extraordinary multiple course menus paired with the exceptional wines of the Okanagan's finest wineries. Taste, Talk and Indulge with the tantalizing flavours of Sociale Enoteca with the Bold and Beautiful wines of Phantom Creek Estates. You can experience all the rich flavours of Regional Italian Corsi and the distinct wines of the South Okanagan. Established in 1996 by pioneering viticulturist Richard Cleave, Phantom Creek Vineyard is consistently recognized for producing some of the best red wines in Canada. And its tiny acreage is in sharp contrast to its ability to produce powerful, opulent wines.
Located on the lower terrace of the southwest-facing Black Sage Bench, it sits just above the valley floor, ensuring full access to the warm afternoon sun. Its well-draining sandy soils were caused by streams that slowly deposited nutrient-rich sediment over thousands of years.
Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (clones 169, 15, 191), Syrah, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot THE INFLUENCE OF PLACE…. Phantom Creek Estates.... "Our winemaking truly begins in the vineyard. We farm our estate grapes with the aim of expressing the character of each vineyard in the final wine. And then we get out of the way. Each of our estate vineyards is farmed with care and precision under the guidance of Olivier Humbrecht MW, one of the leading authorities on organic and biodynamic farming". SEE YOU AT SOCIALE! These fantastic evenings sell out very quickly, so book your reservations early. Treat yourself... You deserve it!! ONLY $109.95 plus Tax & Grat more info... |

Taste, Talk and Indulge with the tantalizing flavours of Sociale Enoteca with the Bold and Beautiful wines of Moon Curser Vineyards You can experience all the rich flavours of Regional Italian Corsi and the distinct wines of the South Okanagan. The Moon Curser name pays tribute to the gold smuggling history of Osoyoos. The Moon Curser wines, however, break from tradition - the winery's focus has always been on making premium wines from old-world grape varieties not previously planted in the Okanagan such as Tannat, Dolcetto and Touriga Nacional. These varieties have not historically been a part of the South Okanagan viticulture, but thrive in the distinctive terroir of the Osoyoos East Bench and continue to deliver unique, world class interpretations of these wines. Moon Curser was recognized as #1 Best Performing Small Winery in Canada at the 2019 WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada and also ranked second overall in the Top 25 Wineries of Canada.

11/29/2023 | When Can You Say No? Understanding Your Duty to AccommodateUnder human rights law, employers have an obligation to accommodate employee needs related to grounds of discrimination. This is called the duty to accommodate.For instance, you may need to adjust a worker’s schedule so they can fulfill their caregiving obligations. Or offer modified or alternative work to an employee recovering from an injury or coping with a disability. But there are reasonable limits to adjusting your policies and processes to accommodate staff. Your duty to accommodate does not apply in cases where accommodation results in undue hardship. Employers must provide sufficient evidence of undue hardship. You must also be mindful of accommodating employees in a manner that protects their dignity and privacy. Join our experts, Olivia Cicchini and Amanda Chadwick, at our upcoming webinar to understand your obligations on accommodation in the workplace. After attending the webinar, you’ll know:
