FWIW, the PM made an unofficial appearance there at the beginning of his summer vacation.

I was referring to Toronto vs. Niagara, but yes, the size of the land let alone, vineyard is a huge factor. Not to mention if it's just the land/vines and the equipment itself.

I'm sure it was just a campaign stop

You are right. Quail's gate still don't ship abroad. Sad.

Hope to have reacquaint myself with the BC wine tasting on my next trip to that part of the world.

But there are plenty other great ones that will ship abroad!

What's even worst is that there are plenty that won't even ship to another province!
