After a lengthy process, I’m delighted to finally share my selection of Canadian whiskies for the VinoZen Society Selection 2025.

Eighteen whiskies were carefully chosen based on the following criteria:

• 100% Canadian owned, distilled, matured, and bottled

• Available for purchase in BC without the need for special channels

I am delighted to share my findings after tasting 35 Pinot Noirs from the Okanagan Valley, spanning the 2020 to 2022 vintages. Before diving into the reviews, let’s briefly discuss the tasting process and criteria used for evaluation.

There will be no scoring of the wines but rather honest assessments and opinions. I will be sharing with you both objectively and subjectively how I view these wines. Hopefully you find it both useful and entertaining.
