"BC wine fans love John Schreiner. He's always been there for us. With the explosive growth of BC wines, he has paved the way for our all-important next step: how to choose and cellar the best of those wines, the icons." --Terry David Mulligan, host of the "Tasting Room Radio" program on Roundhouse Radio

A gorgeous gift-worthy collection of tasting notes and collector's information on British Columbia's highest-calibre wines, written by Canada's most authoritative and prolific wine writer.

British Columbia now has such an array of high-calibre winemakers that John Schreiner has compiled a book showcasing the icon wines from BC's best wineries. An icon wine is the very best wine that a producer can make, and the prestige of an icon wine cascades across a winery's entire portfolio.

For each wine profiled, readers will learn the behind-the-scenes story of the winery and winemaker, as well as the history, provenance, and inspiration behind each wine. The most recent vintage is listed, along with detailed tasting notes for as many vintages as are available, information on number of cases produced, percentages of varietals in the case of blends, and even the clone number of particular varietals.

The essential guide for any collector of BC wine, this book is also the culmination of research that illuminates John Schreiner's passion and unique contribution to BC's wine region.
