Trust a culinary company founded in Okanagan wine country to create a premium candy for adults with a discerning wine palate – Nummers! Gourmet Wine Gems™. Made from real 100-per-cent organic wine are truly fruit forward and “juicy gems of gummie confection heaven”.
Founded by sisters Carolynn and Leanne Pawluk, Wine Gems™ was a collaborative project between Jayne and Paul Graydon of Saxon Estate Winery. Initially, Nummers! Gourmet worked with them to pair treats with Saxon wines in the tasting room, for example, salted chocolate caramels with Merlot and sponge toffee with Port. It evolved into the wine gums being developed from bottles of tasting room leftovers. Now Wine Gems™ are carried in the tasting room and part of Saxon’s corporate gift program.
The Pawluks credit Kim Stansfield and her husband, John Gordon, as being instrumental in helping with the production and quality control in early gem days and promoting Nummers! Gourmet treats.
Thanks to Kim approaching Stefanie Schales, proprietor of 8th Generation Winery, Wine Gems™ made from its wines will be a value-added wine club component and available for purchase in the tasting room along with 8th Generation Wine jelly made by Nummers! Gourmet. Already other wineries have inquired about custom-made Wine Gems™ and other artisan products that Nummers! Gourmet produces.
