Written By Guest Writer Libations / Wine Jul 6, 2015 Welcome C.C. Jentsch Cellars to The Storehouse SHARE VIA: Facebook Twitter PinterestWe invited C.C. Jentsch Cellars (the “J” is pronounced “Y”) to join the Drinks section of the EAT Storehouse community as a recommended British Columbia winery. They are a proud member of the Golden Mile Bench. Over the months ahead we will be sharing their stories with you. EAT thanks them for their support and for making our province a better place to enjoy high quality wines.Welcome to C.C. Jentsch Cellars on Hwy 97 between Oliver and Osoyoos. Our new tasting room is now open! We offer a selection of wines for tasting daily and charge a $5 tasting fee, redeemable upon any purchase.
