Raise a glass of NK'Mip Cellars wine on June 21 to celebrate National Aboriginal Day.
NK'Mip just released its 2015 Winemaker's Series Dreamcatcher and 2015 Winemaker's Series Rosé. Dreamcatcher, an a citrusy white blend of riesling, sauvignon blanc and pinot blanc, has just a touch of sweetness, making it a great patio sipper. If you're rosé fan, the strawberry-forward blend of merlot, syrah, pinot noir and cabernet franc is your drink under the sun.
Of course, you have to have some good food to go with the wine, like his B.C. salmon with hazelnut butter and mixed greens.

Wid B.C. salmon
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and sear in a greased pan over high heat or on a grill until medium rare.
