VIWF celebrates Canada for its 150th

The Week In Review

We survived another busy Vancouver International Wine Festival week, with the stylish Italians impressing with their classics, autochthonous grapes and modernity - sometimes all in one glass.

Over the next few weeks we'll be posting some of our favourite wine reviews from the show. Canada has been announced as the theme region for 2017, a fitting tribute during Canada's 150th birthday. We're looking forward to having wines and producers from coast to coast celebrated in Vancouver February 11-19, 2017. Little rest for the VIWF-weary, as Anthony heads to Argentina and Uruguay this week and I'm prepping for Germany and ProWein next week. As always, you can follow along on Instagram & Twitter.
