Good guest and show. Shame Canadian wines are so hard to find…especially in the UK

Keep us posted on the OK pre-Olympic events please! But no cruising–my partner gets seasick at the first rock, not a good thing for wine tasting.

Glad to hear you get the bacon on the nose as well, Gary. I was at Quails Gate last week and did a tasting of the Pino Noir. When I told the tour guide I got a strong nose of prosciutto he looked at me like i was retarded and dismissed it completely! Enjoyed the tour and the wine anyway, and I totally recommend it for anyone touring wineries in the Okanagan.

Good post, I can?t say that I agree with everything that was said, but very good information overall:)

My intro to the wine world was through BC wine, being a Vancouver girl, so fun to see this episode! I also LOVE the Tantalus Riesling! Will be tasting some Quail’s Gate tonight at a Vancouver event, I’ll be sure to get a good “sniffy-sniff” of the Pinot, will see if the current vintage is as bacon-ey as the 2006…

Good guest and show. I haven’t had any Okanagan wines but I’ve visited the Niagara region and really liked those wines. Will have to try some Okanagan wines if I can ever find them.

QOTD: Probably not any time soon.
