Great thread! The North Okanagan / Shuswap is an emerging wine region and we have a half a dozen small but mostly quality wineries here. Someone mentioned Edge of the Earth already. Celista Cuvée is a nice semi-sweet, fruity white and my friends at Marionette Winery make a really nice dry Riesling and a full-bodied Pulcinella that's a great pairing for Italian food. I've had the chance to participate in both their pressing and bottling processes and it was amazing.

Also since I'm sitting on nearly 40 southwest facing acres here I've started the process of planting a vineyard. So far I have a test vineyard with around 25 vines each in 6 varietals - 4 whites and 2 reds. The success of these will determine which varietals will make the cut for the full plantation.

Here are year one grapes on our Sauvignon Blanc vines!
