October 9, 2013: BC Merlot
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:

Pull up a bottle of your favourite BC Merlot and join us!

If I Could Tell the #WBC13 Wine Bloggers One Great Thing About Our BC Wine Industry it Would Be… (feed lost)
The Wine Blogger’s are here! The Wine Blogger’s are here! A wonderful group of enthusiastic wine, food and travel bloggers are descending on Penticton this week and here’s your chance to encapsulate in one location your best thing (or things) about the BC Wine industry. Sure, it’s always easier to gripe and moan about how we can make our industry better, but here’s your time to tell people who don’t know a lot about our area why we love what we do and where we do it.
Consumers, retailers, restaurants, and wineries! Why you love this place, its people and these wines? We’ll package it up pretty for the Wine Bloggers for reading later so think about it and then tweet it.
May 29, 2013: BC Blends
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
White and red blends in BC are everywhere–you almost wonder if there is such a thing as a single varietal wine. Tonight we talk about blending considerations, great blends out there and motivations for why winemakers blend different grapes together.
Join us at 8-9pm on Wednesday!
May 22, 2013: Winery Sustainability Programs
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
Winery Sustainability Programs
What is BC doing to build for its future? Are there things that the wineries and the vineyards are doing that people consider sustainable practices? Are there things that you feel the wineries should be doing that they are not that would send a message that our industry is acting responsibly and sustainably? What practices have you heard other wine regions subscribe to that you are unsure if we are doing here at home?
Does farming and making wine in a more sustainable way matter to you at all? Join us at 8pm Wednesday to discuss!
May 15, 2013: All About Oak
HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
Why do winemakers put their wines in oak? What does oak bring to a wine and how can it help and hurt a wine? From the geeky winemakers discussing which oak they prefer for which wines to the controversy over whether a wine should age in oak at all…every person seems to have an opinion when it comes to wine + oak. Bring it to the chat tonight!

HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
What Can We Do To Strengthen Our BC Wine Industry?
We are a great industry but there are many things that can be done to strengthen our industry. What can each winery, store, restaurant, government agency and consumer do to make this great BC wine industry even better than it is now?
It is election time and you can be assured that some of the #BCPoli will be tuning in to our chat on Wednesday at 8pm. Be constructive or critical–anything goes this week…but remember the goal is to find ways to make this industry even stronger.
