Rivers Reach Pub and Licensed Retail Store has served New Westminster and surrounding communities for about 15 years. Recently, we were voted the number one pub and LRS in New Westminster by the Readers Choice Awards. Our pub and beer and wine store are unique in its approach to serving our clients all the way from the décor, atmosphere, menu and the service we provide. Please come visit us!

“I have known Rob Gradley for about six years and he has been my representative for about that time. Rob is always professional in his approach to relationships and selling his companies brands to me to benefit my store. Blue Note Wines and Spirits has a fantastic and diversified portfolio and Rob brings those brands to me and they sell well. Blue Note is a unique company and shares their knowledge of many different aspects of not only wine and spirits, but of the market and communities.”

Culture


The world of wine, spirits and premium saké is about celebrating the
pleasures of life and we at Blue Note embrace them at every possible
opportunity. We celebrate our wins and rally to the challenges. Our annual
retreats “Blue-Lapalooza” are becoming legendary – Team Blue Note’s escape
to celebrate great wine, food, music and laughter.

BACKSTAGE PASS TO CULTURE

Nurturing Dreams

At Blue Note we promote and actively participate in programs that allow us to pour out our spirit of generosity.

We work harder making this world a better place for ourselves, our clients, our producer partners and our greater community.

In addition to supporting important local causes we also look beyond our borders to help those who can use a boost through organizations like KIVA.org, a micro lending site. Through our contributions that we choose as a team, our aid supports a variety of people or groups that have a vision and need for funds to grow their activities that in turn contribute back to their community.

I see myself just as much as the ‘k.i.d.’ (key inspirational director) as I am the president of Blue Note.
In both roles, I work closely with my team of professionals to exceed our goals as we honour our core values.
In my spare time you can usually catch me at live music shows, exploring new foods and wines, swimming and making the world a better place by introducing people to our amazing portfolio of wines, spirits and premium saké.

I have been the saké samurai for Blue Note since 2005.
Born in Okinawa, Japan, I moved to Canada when I was younger and am able to embrace both cultures.
I play golf EVERY Sunday regardless of weather, rain, snow or shine!
If you have any questions about Japanese sake, please just ask… I will be more than happy to help!

Originally from Victoria, BC, I loved cooking from an early age. My passion for wine developed while spending time in Australia in my early 20′s. My Nomadic lifestyle took me to Europe / London to work in the music industry, which later continued on in Canada. Looking to pursue a career in wines and spirits, I completed Level 3 WSET Certification and at Blue Note enjoy the best of both worlds!

I have worked in the consumer goods and wine beverage industry for much of my career. Born and raised in Vancouver, I am truly a lover of the West Coast and all it has to offer. At the top of my list of leisure activities, I enjoy boating and spending time on the water in the Gulf Islands. I can also be found heading to Palm Dessert or Mexico for some winter sun.
