Wedge Regret
My sister in law tried to get into a Christmas craft fair like 5 years ago and it was all ali express resellers so she wrote a rant on facebook with photos showing the resale merch and a bunch of moms were pissed off.

Now shes banned from selling but they have to prove its mostly actual crafts.

N'kmip doesn't deliver to Alberta. With you on Mooncurser though!

Yesterday it was from Forbidden Fruit in Similkameen so not Okanagan strictly. Their grape wine is excellent; sadly though the red grape harvest this year got wiped by weather so put in supplies early

We also like Kismet, Hester Creek, and Arrowleaf in Lake Country

Liquidity's chard is the only chardonnay I haven't hated in my life. And Blue Mountain's sparkling stuff is pretty fuckin' great.

Black Sage (Summerland) also has a drinkable chard (I am not a chard drinker and I like it)

I cant remember what it tastes like but my go to wines are burrowing owl for dry red and white and if I want a nice easy-drinking white that is sweet I go for Synchromesh.

for price point it would likely be Mission Hill 5 Vineyards line, or the Ganton and Larson Prospect Winery series.

The closest production model to Yellow Tail would be something like Jackson Triggs but don't drink Jackson Triggs. Not to be a snob, most wine is fine (even poo poo like Barefoot is drinkable, if an instant hangover), but you can do better without the pucker factor for not much more cash

I love a lot of Canadian wines, but the one I buy the most of is Colio's dry white.


It goes on sale at Metro of 4 boxes for $100. So about $5 a bottle and its serviceable wine, and it lasts about 2 months. In the summer it makes a decent white wine sangria
