The latest twist in the pipeline battle between Alberta and British Columbia: Rachel Notley says the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission will boycott BC Wines and stop importing them into the province.
This is in response to the BC Government trying to stop an oil pipeline expansion (Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion) from being built.
Rachel Notley is also encouraging Albertans to boycott BC Wines in restaurants.
Well I guess the rest of Canada will need to buy more BC wine.
I will definitely start buying BC wine
And here’s an article:
Here’s an alphabetical listing of B.C. wineries for those who plan to up their B.C. wine consumption.
Wineries I highly recommend:
Nk’Mip Wineries in Osoyoos – FN-owned, doing all sorts of amazing things for FN in the area, plus their wines are straight-up incredible. The Qwam Qwmt Syrah in particular is just…yeah. If you like rich complicated bold reds, this is the one. That being said; hard to find outside the winery. As a second best, their Talon blend is really nice and usually widely available.
Lakebreeze does REALLY nice whites, recommend The Spice Jar for something complex but really crisp and bright.
Quails Gate also great for whites, I quite enjoy their Chasselas blend.
Other wineries to recommend in general: Silver Sage does some really Interesting stuff, and their dessert wines are a treat if you’re into that. Hester Creek and Tinhorn creek are pretty much always a good bet, as are Burrowing Owl and Stag’s Hollow.
Go forth and drink wine. =)
