THE SHOW
Welcome back to the 44th annual Vancouver Wine Festival.
Cutting through the clutter with world class wine smarts is our co-host DJ Kearney (Wine Director Terminal City Club. Speaker, writer, wine judge, noted authority)

This is our 17th year of covering this wildly successful wine gathering.
As always, we make a wish list of who we’d like to talk to and try to shape a tale of climate, regions, wines, winemakers and what’s ahead for an ever changing business.
At some point the wish list gets thrown out and it’s a sprint to the finish line.
Exhausting but memorable.
