List of wineries

It's funny, of course as an old-time BCer there has to be Calona Wines, started by Herb Capozzi's father, I believe, and famous for the$5 magnums of the immortal Calona Muscatel, a student and rubbie favourite in the '70s; it was the first large commercial winery SFAIK in BC; not sure if it ever had a wine worth a connoisseur drinking, probably not.

I imagine a lot of current wineries may have articles already, which are not categorized properly, but here's a (very brief) starter list for preparation to transfer:

...I've got the Penticton wine-tourism guide handy here in my motel, so will add to this and do a full listing of Okanagan wines; I think it has the Similkameen ones too, don't know where to look for Fraser Valley, Gulf Islands, and Cowichan/Vancouver Island.....Skookum1 (talk) 08:59, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Osoyoos Indian Reserve vines

Between their own production, largely for Jackson Triggs, and leases to othe wineries in addition to their own, Nk'mip, the Osoyoos Indian Reserve produces I think 40% of all wine grapes in the Okanagan; maybe it's 60%. That's probably on the band's website, or Nk'mip's, I'll look around.Skookum1 (talk) 08:59, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ooooh. That would be an awesome DYK if we can find some sources on it. BTW, I'm working on the Okanagan Valley (wine) article. Should have something live by Monday evening. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 09:12, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the standard for wine-area articles Okanagan Valley AVA? Other than that Okanagan Valley (wine region) seems preferable to Okanagan Valley (wine), which would suggest there is one wine named "Okanagan Valley. The stats on OIB/OIR production I had from a data sheet from a job I had for a couple of days at Nk'mip (they wanted me to cut my ponytail off to "preserve their conservative ethic"). But they probably have a press release kicking around; it may be on Jackson Triggs' website, I'll look around.Skookum1 (talk) 06:51, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
