Dick: Most of what's good in the BC world of wine never makes it out of the
province. Icewine seems to be our main export. A couple of the big boys
(Mission Hill & Calona) do export to the USA, unfortunately they represent
the MOST wine produced in BC, not the best.
Keep in mind, there's only 5000ha under vine in BC. A drop in the bucket
when compared to most other wine producing regions. Glad you enjoyed what
our humble little province has to offer... Do you remember which producers
you were trying?

En Vino Veritas
