Happy Friday, everyone. As the weekend calls, so do Siren’s Call wines.

Siren’s Call winemaker, Mark Simpson, crafts his wines to be enjoyed early and often, “I wanted to create wines to have  a ‘liquid business card’ as a consulting winemaker. I also wanted to make wines that are the highest quality possible with the best fruit in an environment with full creative freedom.”

Simpson’s first vintage with Siren’s Call was 2010 after leaving the B.C. beer industry. He was one of the founders of the craft beer industry in British Columbia and had the title of brewmaster for 10 years at Granville Island Brewing located on Granville Island in Vancouver.
