I went with natural yeast barrel fermentation, so think of a old world, Burgundian-style Pinot. Very light. Very delicate. And it's also one hundred percent pure Pinot, so there's nothing else back-blended into it.

Anytime you visit any part of the world, you want to get the local fare, try to experience what that particular area has to offer. And us here in British Columbia, we're so fortunate to have this unique climate where we can produce world-class wines, and that have been a secret for so long, but I think the secret is getting out now and people are starting to discover our wines.

37. SOUNDBITE (English) Steve Lobsinger, Manager, Lift Bar and Grill restaurant:
In the last five years, I've seen a big shift. So five years ago and prior to that, there was a turn up your nose at British Columbia wine, and Canadian wine in general. There was a, 'you can't compete, you're not' much like I'm sure Napa was prior to the 70s, where 'you're just not making good wine'. I think what I've seen in the last five years is that we have started to produce a lot of good quality, excellent wines, and people are excited about trying them. The winemakers are getting out there. Locally, like our own populace is very good at supporting their own products.

Thinking of stocking up your wine cupboard ahead of Christmas? Then Canada's new wines might have something to entice you.
The country's table wines have been largely ignored, even snubbed, in recent years - but now wine enthusiasts are drinking to the success of sophisticated wineries in British Columbia.

A Summers Day at Vista D'Oro
July 1, 2014. A very hot day on all accounts, the weather was in the mid 30's and a wonderful afternoon was had by all. I sang a concert in the spectacular setting of an early 20th century barn nestled amoung the vines of the winery as a wedding gift to my cousin at the beautiful Vista D'oro Farm and Winery. Hosted by the wine maker and owner Patrick Murphy, we had 60 people attend a 2 part concert of Opera and Show Tunes and wine tasting of Patrick's wine. Vista D'Oro is a treasure and well worth a visit located just south of Vancouver in the Campbell Valley. vistadoro.com

This orange drink was made from Sea buck thorn berries and supplied these high altitude locals with most of their nutrients. This juice, sparked an idea.
