Lots of changed and not for the better. I've been touring the Okanagan for almost 20 years and have seen Mission Hill grow into the monstrosity that it is. Most were a lot smaller. winebc.com says there are 173 licensed wineries in the Okanagan now. Some make good wines, some still making iffy ones unfortunately. Still a learning process of what grape varietals
Highly recommend Naramata next time you're in the area. The warmth and sunshine seems to make the red grapes more ripe over there.
Even here in Niagara it's hard to keep up and I've only ever been to Prince Edward County once and that's an up and coming region too.
For some reason Mission Hill reminded me of the the part in Prometheus when they find the alien craft.
Thanks for the Naramata tip. I definitely want to get back in the near future, but also want to check out Vancouver Island's wineries as well.
So many places, so little time!
