Three Langley wineries among the 26 featured in B.C. Wine Guide

Guide features more than 40 pages of information for wine lovers to use this summer

Three Langley wineries are featured in the 2015 edition of the BC Wine Guide.

Township 7 Vineyards, Domaine de Chaberton and Vista D’Oro are the Langley wineries listed among the 26 featured in the guide.

The guide features more than 40 pages of information for wine lovers to use this summer as they visit their favourite wineries and wine stores.

“These may not be the biggest wineries in B.C., but I think they make the best wine,” said author Stephen Bruyneel. “For those used to the same old names on the liquor store shelves, many of these will be a revelation, both in terms of quality and price.”

The BC Wine Guide is a no frills, 40+ page guide to all of BC’s wine regions  — the Okanagan, Naramata, Similkameen, Vancouver Island, and the Fraser Valley.  Based on over 20-plus years of personal tasting, drinking and cellaring B.C. wines, it narrows down the wineries to visit, how to find them, their best wines, and even contains  personal tasting “tweets”.

“For some of the wineries and wines, it may well be the largest collection of tasting notes ever compiled,” added Bruyneel.

For those buying these elite wines, it gives you a sense of both their style and aging ability.”

The format for the wine guide is pretty straight forward, with an emphasis on usability.

“It comes as a PDF, so you can print it off or keep it on your smart phone to use while tasting or shopping,” said Bruyneel.

“I hope it will show people just how good B.C. wines can be.”
