I am enjoying this wine tonight in celebration of the life of an Canadian wine giant Harry McWatters who passed earlier this week. Harry possibly more than anyone else put the Okanagan wines on the map. Sumac Ridge is his first winery and label. Harry understood the market and brought us enjoyable wines targeted to various levels of sophistication and quality. He lobbied to get us the VQA designation, wine sales on Sunday and the use of broader distribution. Often called the God Father of the Okanagan wine industry, one that loved life and great wines. I say that he is a 10 that will be missed. Cheers and thanks to you Harry 🍷
