HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
The often forgotten dessert wines from BC should have their own chat. I have been asked many times to host an hour on our wonderful late harvest and Icewines from BC. Tonight we’ll discuss some of your favourites and which foods pair with them best.
If you have questions about how dessert wines are made hopefully we can talk about that too! They’re sticky, and sweet and the topic of our next BCWineChat!
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
Grab yourself a bottle of BC Rose´, or better yet, come to Oliver’s Rose´ Revolution, and tweet until you’re heart’s content. Rose Wine Revolution is a worldwide twitter event celebrating all wines not red or white but somewhere between–and dry.
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
Use the hour of #BCWineChat to discuss anything you want relating to BC’s wine industry. Have you just had a great BC wine? Tell us about it! Do you have a gripe? Tell us about it! Do you have a suggestion for a future #BCWineChat? Tell us about it! Bored? Tell us about it!
Getting the picture?
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
BC makes some awesome bubbly and tonight we’re going to discuss some of your favourites. What do you pair with BC bubbly and what are some of the producers you like the best? Is there something that makes BC sparkling wine unique and possibly even better than some sparklers you find in other corners of the globe? Join us for a celebration of BC Bubbly…because it’s Wednesday.

THE UNDERAPPRECIATED: THE NEXT GRAPE STARS OF BC
All grape varieties seem to go through periods of popularity that eventually decline over time when consumers look to the new “hot” (or “cool” in the case of grape growing) thing.
What varieties do you think are currently underappreciated in BC? Are there varieties that used to be popular but now are not given their due? Are there varieties that some wineries have made very popular but the wine consumers have not yet discovered?
We live in a wine growing region that is still highly experimental and is always looking for that next “star variety” that will be both well-suited for grape growing, winemaking as well as appeal to customers. Tonight we will explore what some of these down trodden or yet-to-be-discovered varieties might be.
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
Rose´ has been the hot wine for summer in BC of late. There are many styles and varietals available out there–so much to choose from. We’ll discuss the various methods of making rose´, some of the growing and harvest considerations and the multitude of varietals used in rose´wines.
Rose´s. They’re not just for breakfast anymore…
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
It’s a large topic but specific to one grape. Pinot noir. It is done all over the world…Burgundy, Champagne, California, Oregon, New Zealand and on and on. But do we do a good job with it in British Columbia?
Open up a bottle of BC Pinot noir and snuggle up for a discussion about this Pinecone-shaped (=Pinot) grape variety. Everyone seems to have something to say about this grape so don’t just sit on the sidelines…or Sideways…get on the hashtag #BCWineChat and talk BC Pinot Noir!
