Question: What are your thoughts on the current status concerning that fun named Laughing Stock winery in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia?
Answer: Timely enquiry. Laughing Stock on the Naramata Bench in the Okanagan is going from strength to strength. Started in 2003 by financial wizards Cynthia & David Enns they developed a strong stable of quality wines led by their iconic Bordeaux blend named Portfolio using grapes grown in Oliver sites and the Perfect Hedge Vineyard in Osoyoos. Your scribe at the 37th Vancouver International Wine Festival (@VanWineFest) conducted a wine seminar spotlighting the first 10 vintages of Portfolio with tasting notes posted here on March 2, 2015. Now under the new inspired leadership of talented winemaker Sandy Leier they have released 2022 Portfolio – their 20th vintage. At the just released 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards the Laughing Stock winery received a Gold Award Winner for their good value 2023 Blind Trust White with 95 points (and Silver for the 2022 Blind Trust Red). Check out this current article in Nuvo linked here. Tasted recently the last four latest Portfolio vintages from 2019 to 2022 inclusive and was impressed with their high quality consistency. All show that unique spicy floral black currant styling with excellent balance and attractive earlier approachability. Only 1800 cases of the 20th anniversary 2022 were produced with a special fresh alive vibrancy noted. Well done!
