10 Wines That Tell The Future: Visionaries From The Okanagan Valley




What are the wines that catch your eye? That doesn't sound right, I know. Wines entice our palate and engage our sense of taste, not of sight.

Still, even beyond taste, there are the wines we see, that draw us in, that give us pause. There are the wines that open up vistas onto our world that, though they've been there all along, we didn't know quite how to look at them, or for them. Sometimes those wines make their way into your purview.

That's been my experience lately with wines from British Columbia, and its Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, during a visit that introduced not only the wines but the perspective that the wines reveal. It has to do with the future for cool climate wines, sure, and the much larger environmental concerns at play. But it also has to do with the vision of local winemakers, what they see as possible, and where they think their industry is headed. Our friends to the north, in other words, have a few tricks up their sleeve.

Follow the link below for ten favorite wines that I tasted during my recent visit, along with a few notes on what I saw in them.
