Soon gave us a bottle of this prized Barbera, one out of only 23 cases, to try. Our less sophisticated panel also found it quite delicious, but it left us wanting more. There is more to come. The 1998 vintage is sure to be exceptional given the incredible growing season the Okanagan enjoyed. Unfortunately, there won't be that much of either the 1998 Sangiovese or Barbera available.
Production is to be increased slowly.
It may have been a love of science that drew Soon into the wine industry. But now, even he will admit that is only part of what he considers to be good winemaking and the overall success of the industry. It's beyond just the numbers. It's more human, more social. Wine is part of our culture, incorporating all the finer parts of life such as art and music.
