LFNG Laughing Stock Vineyards

We first experienced this winery’s portfolio at the 2007 Calgary Business Hall of Fame Laureate Luncheon and knew then it was a noble newcomer to the Canadian wine scene. Since that first sip, we’ve been fans of their Portfolio blended wine which expresses the most exquisite marriage of five Bordeaux style varietals to produce a full-bodied, complex red sipper that falls in a distinct class of excellent wines.

This sassy winery asks, “how liquid are your assets”? Well, we know that ours are safely bought, held and cellared and recommend adding a few selections from this vineyard to your portfolio for solid returns. Under new ownership, this Naramata gem requires an advance reservation for tastings and is practicing strict COVID protocols.
