Best Gewurz I've had in a long time. Crisp and refreshing. Worked really well with Quiche and salad @corcelettes

#BCwinechat 61 of the total have left the industry (sold/closed) as of end 2022 with 2 more announcements adding to that (Harpers and Rathjen). So net gain around 37 wineries since 2016.

#bcwinechat Q9. Opened my 2017 @FortBerens Red Gold magnum for dinner with friends last weekend. Pretty nice drop o' red and would highly recommend. They've done a good job with this every year so far

#BCwinechat Q7. Don't shop for wine on-line (as in via website). Have been known to email a winery with orders.

#BCWinechat Q5: $25-$30+tax. But offsetting that with many more imports now in $20 range. #1 most bought wine so far this year Paul Mas Rose - 1L bottle $16.99

#BCWinechat Q4 - 50%!!! you betcha it would impact. A couple of wineries did that last year - but with good reasons. No reason for an industry across the board increase of that magnitude in one fell swoop. Might be up 50% over 5 years

#BCwinechat Q3 - booking appts. Makes it all so deliberate and unspontaneous.

#BCWinechat re Q1. I'm hosting the wine at a rather large local event next month and want to have a decent proportion of BC goodies - I've decided to showcase Similkameen wines for that.
