Vancouver’s Best Bars and the Memories Nobody Ranked

I keep a mental list of the best cocktails I have ever had. Not written down anywhere, not catalogued or ranked — just held quietly, the way good things tend to be. And along with each chilled glass comes something else entirely: a fleeting impression of the room, the quality of the light, the person...

Pour With Purpose: The Rewild Story – From Australia with Love

National Pinot Grigio Day arrives on May 17th, and there is no better reason to reach for a bottle that earns its place on the table — and beyond it. Rewild’s Pinot Grigio, crafted in Australia’s Southern Murray Darling, opens with fresh pear and green apple aromas that feel made for warm afternoons. The palate...

Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark: Where the Night Holds Still

By the time the Baja Expedition‘s dining tent clears and the naturalist’s voice fades into the dark, the Vizcaíno Desert does something I was not prepared for. It goes completely quiet. Not the manufactured quiet of a spa or a soundproofed hotel room, but the real thing — the kind that rings faintly in the...

Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Natural: Named & Returned to the Sea

The clipboard reads: Tortuga — GubGub. Marcas — G123839. Fecha — 15.03.2026. My partner and I named this one — a quiet tribute to a beloved feline companion, written now into the scientific record of a sea turtle’s life. Every turtle in care receives a name before the work begins, each one chosen by a...

Paul Stulac Classic Blend Phantom Torpedo: After the Whales

The Baja Expeditions panga has docked. The orange lifejacket is gone. The camp tents sit in a white row along the ridge, quiet and purposeful against the desert scrub and an almost aggressively blue Baja sky. The group has dispersed — back to the bar tent, back to the beach chairs, back to the particular...

Glenfiddich Spring Cocktails — Three Serves for the Long Days Ahead

Glenfiddich has always understood the season before the calendar catches up — its bright, fruit-forward character and layered depth feel purpose-built for the stretch of longer days and unhurried evenings that spring delivers. The air carries just enough warmth to make a patio feel like the only reasonable place to be, and these three serves...

Spring, Sorted: The Accessories That Finish the Look

When spring rolls in, I always rethink accessories before I rethink clothes. Warmer weather means fewer layers, which also means the details matter more. Accessories are where personality shows up, and they are often the easiest way to refresh a wardrobe without buying an entirely new one. My approach is simple: buy fewer things, choose...
