What is Victoria's most friendly neighbourhood? 

On this week's show, Rhys Pender MW, owner of Wine Plus+ wine school and Little Farm Winery, discusses the long aging potential of B.C. wines after bottling. We also review the results from the Library Wine Category at the National Wine Awards of Canada. Next, we travel to Victoria, one of Australia's most vibrant wine regions, home to 21 distinct wine areas and over 800 wineries. Victoria is known for its numerous small, family-owned wineries, many of which are multi-generational, distinguished by their innovation, craftsmanship, and strong sense of place. Stephanie Duboudin, CEO of Wine Victoria, shares insights on this captivating region near Melbourne's lively food scene. Federico Colombo, Brand Ambassador for La Celia in Argentina, joins us to discuss what makes Valle de Uco's Malbec so remarkable today, over a century after the first plantings. Our final guest, David McBean, GM of Watermark Beach Resort, reflects on support efforts during challenging times and shares his optimistic view on visiting the Okanagan Valley as the harvest and autumn unfold.

Transit workers in Victoria are escalating their strike tomorrow with an overtime ban. BC Transit tells us they won't yet speculate how much this will disrupt service, but you can stay up to date by checking alerts online. Meanwhile, Local 333-BC President Stephen Bains says the union hasn't heard back from the employer since workers started the uniform ban earlier this month. He is encouraging the public to reach out to BC Transit & their MLAs in order to advocate for funding.
