Celebrating International Women's Day #WithTownHall

Happy International Women's Day! 

With a number of our clients and team members being women, we want to celebrate International Women’s Day by highlighting the leadership and dedication of the women in Town Hall Brands' circle. Most of all, we invite you to help us celebrate and recognize these incredible women for their hard work and achievements.

Thank you ladies for everything that you do! Here is what the women #WithTownHall had to say about being a woman in the work force, what International Women's Day means to them, and why it's important to celebrate this day together.

"To me, the meaning of this day is as diverse as the individuals who celebrate it. It's about giving recognition to the women who inspire us, reflecting on our past struggles and achievements, planning for positive change in the future, and making the commitment to invest in the untapped potential and opportunities for future generations of women."

"The biggest challenge is the pressure I put on myself to exceed my own expectations in all aspects of my life. Trying to not only balance, but exes, in the multiple businesses, industry boards, volunteer activities, and family obligations, sometimes leaves very little time to take care of myself."


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Can you imagine not being able to vote? No, me either! International Women's Day reminds us where we've been and how far we've come, it celebrates all women, especially those that blazed the trails and fought for gender equality."

"International Women's Day is hugely important to me because it acknowledges that the fight for women's equality is far from being over. The community that has risen from today's feminist movement has not only inspired me to lift up other women, but to never stop learning about women's struggles around the world instead of focusing on issues solely on issues solely in my own line of vision."


THB-IWD-2017-Headshots-Grace

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"International Woman's Day is a remind that our fight is not over, and that we cannot take our rights for granted. I think this is incredibly important, especially in today's political climate. Women around the world still do not have social, political, and economic equality. Violence against women is not only a problem abroad, it is also not being adequately addressed in our own country. I believe it is essential to have a day dedicated to confronting and finding solutions to these issues."


THB-IWD-2017-Headshots-Jenny

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"International Women's Day is a day to celebrate all women - all of the accomplishments we have made, as well as the work that still needs to happen to be seen as equals."

"My biggest challenge of being a woman in the workforce has been having my voice heard and sticking to a good work/life balance."


THB-IWD-2017-Headshots-Leeann

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I find it disheartening at times that we still need a day to call attention to our worth. That said, it means we have an official day to gain attention and celebrate women and their accomplishments the world over. It is a time to reinforce the love for the sisterhood."


THB-IWD-2017-Headshots-Amy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"International Women's Day is a celebration of every step that we have taken in bringing equality to not only women but every individual in our society. As well, a reminder that together, we are stronger and we can make a positive difference in each other's lives."

Mirabel Pinot Noir "of wondrous beauty" publicly launched

Mirabel Vineyards

Note from Leeann Froese:

If you follow us on social media, you will note that our design team has been working on a beautiful new label with an illustration from Darrell Underschultz, for the Reimers, a lovely Kelowna couple, for their new Mirabel Vineyards Pinot Noir.

This limited release Pinot made by Matt Dumayne is both bold and silky at the same time, and with only a few cases made, is sure to go quickly.

We are very proud to also handle the publicity for this new wine, and here is the official press release.

Mirabel Vineyards Announces Debut Release Reimer Family focused on terroir-driven Pinot Noir

Doug and Dawn Reimer are pleased to launch their inaugural Mirabel Vineyards wine with the release of the 2015 Pinot Noir, sourced exclusively from their South East Kelowna hilltop estate and vineyard overlooking the Okanagan Valley.

Mirabel, meaning "of wondrous beauty", perfectly represents the Reimer family's stunning South East Kelowna hilltop estate and vineyard overlooking the beautiful Okanagan Valley.

The sustainably-farmed Reimer Family Vineyard was planted in 2006 on a steep hill with both southwesterly and northwesterly aspects. Grapes were planted at high elevations over complex soils. Analysis of the terroir suggested the estate was best planted to specific clones of Pinot Noir, to be blended together for optimum colour, flavour, acidity, tannin and length. The yield is cropped at a low 2.5 tons per acre and harvested by hand. One-and-a-half acres of Chardonnay will be planted this spring.

The family's commitment to quality is realized with this first vintage release of 237 cases of a luscious, elegant, sustainably-grown Pinot Noir.

The 2015 Mirabel Pinot Noir ($70.00 for 750ml, $160 for 1500ml Magnum) was aged 11 months exclusively in French oak (30% new). Gentle handling, including gravity transfer from barrel to bottle, helped to maintain the subtle texture, rich fruit, soft spice and generous length. As the Reimers do not yet have a winery, this wine was made at Okanagan Crush Pad by chief winemaker Matt Dumayne.

Mirabel Vineyards was founded through Doug and Dawn's shared love of travel, and the belief that the creation and sharing of wonderful food and incredible wine is one of life's greatest joys. Following a vacation to the Okanagan in 2004, the couple purchased an exclusive piece of property that was ideal for growing grapes. The fruit was previously sold to other wineries, but it will now be reserved for the Mirabel Vineyards label.

Initial praise for the Pinot Noir includes a review from noted BC wine authority John Schreiner, who described it as having "great purity of fruit". A saignée-method Pinot Noir Rosé and a Chardonnay will be released later this year. 

"We believe that what is in the bottle is more than just wine; it is a place and time; a snapshot of the vineyard. We invite you to join us, as we pursue our dream." - Doug and Dawn
