About

There are many wine blogs out in the world. The goal of this Vancouver-based wine blog is twofold.

First, I hope to serve the local British Columbia (and Vancouver) community since there is a large lack not only of personal reviews and tasting notes on wines carried in the BC market, but also of critical reflection and free in-depth writing on wine generally. I also know that many are not fans of relying solely on tasting notes and articles from the big corporate magazines.

Second, I would like to give a voice to the smaller guys in the wine industry, those doing amazing things but not backed by big marketing dollars, and to help build a niche community of wine lovers both locally and abroad. Thus I humbly hope to add to the few personal voices on wine in the local market. Hopefully some from elsewhere will also enjoy the posts!

One note for readers not from BC: The alcohol laws in BC are antiquated!! BC Taxes make our wines between 80-100% higher in price than in the US, so keep that in mind!
