Harry Hertscheg pours another glass.
It's a blend uniquely Harry
The 47th annual Festival.
March 7/14- on opening the room is filled with
information, numbers and a hint of Nardwuar.
The palate is full. Surprising with stories of Bacchanalia
(Mar 7), The Soul of Napa (MAR 9), The mid-palate is totally
France! (the feature region)
Harry takes us through
The Spirit of Languedoc Roussillon
Rioja
Chablis.
And, most importantly, fundraising for Bard on
the Beach
In 2026, the festival will feature 114 wineries
from 14 countries, pouring and discussing their wines at
33 events over seven days.
There are 34 wines from Canada. All
BC. I think the number represents the resiliency of BC wine growers
and makers.
Harry Hertscheg will supply the rest of the
numbers. There are lots of numbers,
but only one Harry!!
