B.C. Food And Wine Radio: Mar 19, 2025

This week, we bring you more from the 46th Annual Vancouver International Wine Festival as we work our way around the International Tasting Room.  We’ll talk with several visiting wine personalities, including Kurtis Ogasawara, Director of Winemaking at the famed Robert Mondavi Winery. Drew Schneider, the Brand Ambassador of The Prisoner Winery Company, speaks with us about the fantastic success of that Napa Valley brand. At the same time, Josh Wyludka, Brand Director of Lingua Franca, takes us inside one of the most successful new wineries to join the Willamette Valley gang in Oregon. Finally, we catch up and head to Oliver in the South Okanagan to visit with Jason James, Winemaker of Black Sage Vineyard, to explore the warmest vineyard in British Columbia. The wines we spoke to this week, from Robert Mondavi Winery, The Prisoner Winery,  and Lingua Franca, are available at select Private Liquor stores across the Province including, Everything Wine, Marquis Wine Cellars and Vessel Liquor in Victoria.  The wines of Black Sage Vineyard are available at BC Liquor and other select retailers across BC.
