May Long Weekend is here and it’s time to light up the BBQ for the summer.  Tell us about your favourite BBQ foods and suggest a BC wine to pair with it.   Don’t be shy about asking for pairing suggestions from the #BCWineChat audience, they love to tell you their favourites!  Recommendations for summer patio sippers for pre-and post meal libations also encouraged.  Let’s get #BCWine sizzlin’ this summer.

April 4 8-9pm PST: Wine Pairing Everyday Meals

HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:

WINE PAIRING EVERYDAY MEALS  April 4, 2012

For some people, wine is food, not that wine pairs with food.  For many, wine is enjoyed daily, with all kinds of meals.  Not all meals are beautiful works of art that you can find on Fork.ly or in other food porn forums.  Most meals are meals.  Everyday affairs that may consist of 2 to 4 things on your plate, or 2-4 containers from the local take out restaurant.

Spend an hour sharing with others some food and wine combinations that you have found work well with meals you may eat on an uneventful Wednesday.

It would be great to figure out which BC wine goes best with Mac and Cheese.

March 7 8-9pm PST: No Such Thing As A Stupid BC Wine Question

HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:

NO SUCH THING AS A STUPID BC WINE QUESTION 

Here in BC we don’t take our wine too seriously.  We have great, enthusiastic customers, well-informed retailers, not too snobby restauranteurs and diverse winery folk. Everyone has  questions for one another that we have never had the courage to ask.

If there is a BC Wine question that has gnawed at you for some time, this is the chat hour for you.    Maybe you have a question for a people who sell BC wines, or for those who make them.  Perhaps some winemakers might have questions for the retailers?  Maybe the wine shop owners want to ask the consumers a question or two.

February 29 8-9pm PST: Your BC Wine Epiphany Moment

HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:

YOUR BC WINE EPIPHANY MOMENT

What was your BC wine epiphany moment?  Was there a BC wine that you enjoyed that helped you realize the great quality of wines out there?  Was there a place, a person, a restaurant, a wine store, a touring experience that introduced you to BC wines?  Or perhaps a time when you said to yourself, “I’m really surprised by how much I love this wine” or “I knew they could make white wines, but reds?”

Share with BCWineChat your epiphany moment(s) with BC wine.  It’s time to celebrate your love affair with some home grown goodness.

December 28 8-9pm PST: BC Wine Resolutions for 2012

  • Is there a BC wine you’ve always wanted to try but for some reason (availability, price, etc) you have never had?
  • Maybe there is a BC wine touring region you have been itching to see
  • A government regulation or two you’d like to work at seeing eliminated
  • You want to expand your knowledge of BC wines and don’t know where to start.
  • You’re looking to change careers into, out of or within the BC wine industry

If you enjoy it.  If you grow it.  If you make it.  If you sell it.  This is the chat for you.
