FWIW, Dirty Laundry used to be called Scherzinger untl it was bought by the current owners and renamed. Lots of funny names being used for marketing.

Next time you're in town, if again, I have a few recs.

Vibrant Vines in "East" Kelowna had a great merlot when I tried it last year. Very fruity, big and without overly tannic from too muc extraction as I find most B.C. reds to exhibit. Just ignore the fancy 3-D labels as the wines can stand by themselves w/o that gimmick. Unfortunately the winery increased bottle price by well over $15.

Another one, big further away, is Privato on the north side of Kamloops. Not Okanagan but they have managed to source a pinot noir from the Vernon area. Best pinot noir I've had in B.C. Had the cherry nose and a good taste - something lacking in B.C. pinot noirs, and again not overly tannic as most.
