Looks like an awesome trip! One question, though. Who's the dork in the red hoodie?

That must be his kid. Chess is like sixty or so.

All the snow in the background of winery shots just seams odd to me...... What fruit do they grow that far north?

Just altitude.
Snow at altitude.
Keep in mind it is winter in BC so there's no fruit on the vines.

Not to be anything but p.c. but there is a large immigrant population in the Vancouver and Okanagan area.

There was a news story awhile back about a van that was overloaded with immigrants headed to the wine country (grape pickers) which got into a vehicular accident. Not enough seatbelts, van too weighted down, etc.
Driving overloaded crappy vehicles without seatbelts is something some immigrants are used to in their countries of origin but in Canada, it's unacceptable.
There was alot of fuss made about having the employer companies be held accountable for the workers safety if they bring from the cities.
I don't recall if this van was owned by the company or not though.

Same stories abound down here. They haven't gotten to the point of holding employers legally accountable, but it is only a matter of time.

The pics were very cool, chess. For which varietals is BC known? It looked like lots of clear skies in the pics. Dodge Avenger? One guy ferments in tupperware?
