In this issue, we’re getting down in the dirt, digging into the unique soils from which British Columbia’s exciting wines spring. We map the province's soil types, and chat with wine country's top soil scientist, Scott Smith, who is defining its Geographical Indications. We also visit Blue Mountain Vineyards to taste how terroir affects the flavours of wine planted only rows apart. And we follow Anthony von Mandl on the trail of the glaciers that carved out the Okanagan Valley. Also: we look at the new generation of wine clubs, which bring the world right to your door. We check in with the respected and prolific wine writer John Schreiner as he embarks on a vintage memoir, and we reminisce about the virtual wine groups that made the last few months bearable. Finally, we check out what’s going on in West Kelowna these days. Plus we have winery listings, wine news, restaurants and so much more.
