In British Columbia, we do wine very well. BC wines are a source of pride for British Columbians throughout our province. Our wine industry creates jobs and drives economic activity in communities from the Okanagan up to Prince George. That’s why I’m proud to have presented the Premier’s Wine Award to See Ya Later Ranch for their Rover Shiraz - Viognier. Along with the other recipients, See Ya Later Ranch are at the forefront of BC’s thriving wine industry. Today more than ever, BC wines are taking their rightful place among the world’s best. As we make concerted efforts to expand the market for our wine within Canada and around the world, the industry’s future is bright. Hon. Christy Clark Premier of British Columbia Sip. Savour. Fly.
