Well we don't have to figure it out tonight. I hope everyone has a relaxing, smokeless, happy and healthy summer. We will be back on #BCWineChat the Wednesday after labour day
And if any of you have ideas tonight or after tonight just send them to me at [email protected]

I think that discussing this tonight is helping a bit. I also think that taking our normal 2 months off during summer will give us time to think about the future of #BCWineChat and bring those ideas back in September.
I will say that one of the things that has never materialized was more wineries getting on #BCwineChat . Even if they are not regulars but jumping in and out periodically--but that has just not happened
Sandra Oldfield Paul Rickett No kidding! I truly appreciate all the time and effort. I have learned so much and met so many interesting people that I am definitely beholden to #BCWineChat
Sandra Oldfield Paul Rickett I will be sad to lose the connections but it is getting difficult to dig through so much of the crap! #BCWineChat
I am wondering how many of the wineries, affected by the vine die off, will be able to survive. The book I mentioned talks about the horrible harvests in 1939- #BCWineChat Here is something for you, Paul. Not just due to the harvest but problems with production. There’s a drop!
Sandra Oldfield Yes, we would have to buy less. I’ve already seen increases of $5-10 per bottle over the last couple years from some wineries which was a significant increase. Finding values is becoming more difficult and would lead to possibly looking elsewhere.
Sandra Oldfield I need to get you to try one Wildflower Distillery (just north of Time.) SO FREAKING GOOD!
Thanks everyone for being on. Appreciate your input and I hope you have a great rest of your week

Sandra Oldfield Couple of cab francs Corcelettes Winery & Red Barn at Jagged Rock. Both were excellent. #BCwinechat
Sandra Oldfield That is hard! Maybe the Orange Muscat from Lakeside Cellars because it is different? Meyer’s Anarchist Mountain Dekleva Chardonnay? So many variables in that question! (no reds at the moment as it is warm) #BCWineChat
I'm embarrassed to say that I've been away for over a month and cannot remember the last great BC wine I drank before that. But I have been rocking the espresso martinis lately

This comes from the top. It speaks volumes about the owners , not just the workers in the wine shops
