MyWinePal’s Top 4.5 – 5 Star Wines for 2025
We have had some turmoil in Canada and in BC for wines in 2025.  Many BC interior wineries suffered from the 2024 cold snap causing them to either not produce any wine in 2024, or importing grapes from across the border, or from Ontario.  We also had the removal of USA wines from BC government liquor stores.  Overall, we had fewer wines for us to purchase and enjoy in BC in 2025, but the 2025 harvest was bountiful, so I'm expecting to see many BC wines in my 2026 top wines' lists.
