Sue and I visited the Okanagan in May and saw this sign just before entering Oliver. After having visited about 50 wineries we wouldn't agree with this statement. Niagara has more quality wineries than BC. Nearly all Niagara wineries give the consumer a decent size pour so you can properly swirl and assess the wine. Some wineries' samples were so small that you couldn't even get a proper taste. There were, however, many great wines. It's a shame that there wasn't the same quality throughout the Okanagan. It may be that everyone wants to get on the bandwagon because of the shortage of BC wines.Sunday, June 3, 2007
