Top BC Red Wines for Winter 2022

The snow, wind, and freezing temperatures have arrived across British Columbia.

In my opinion, that is a good enough reason to open a comforting BC red wine any night of the week.

In some cases, the bigger and bolder, the better.

Hunkering down with a hearty winter dinner and a quality bottle of local wine is a great way to spend an evening inside during the holiday season.

Here are some of my top BC red wine recommendations to keep you cozy and warm this winter.
