Very interesting - thanks for posting! I recently worked on a project for a company that hosts wine events around the world. Long story short - winemakers from the Okanagan Valley kept appearing in stories/articles/reports about innovative work with different grape varieties, especially those well-adapted to colder climates. If I'm not mistaken, a number of German grape varieties have been embraced by Canadian winemakers. I'm from the U.S., so mostly familiar with Oregon/Washington wineries, but sounds like British Columbia is also ready to break out on the international wine scene!
