Oprah's O magazine is promoting Inniskillin Ice Wine – click for full image
Just got this note from Kate (Twitter: @2010wines)…
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, but also the 2010 Winter Games: Inniskillin is sponsoring the Ice Gate at the Richmond O Zone and will have a 60 FOOT Icewine tasting bar open to the public.
In case you've not heard about the O-Zone in Richmond, or many of the great free venues for the upcoming 2010 Olympic Winter Games, go check out this link at CityCaucus.com. It's likely that BC wine will be flowing at many events, such as at the BC Pavilion.
Go Canada! Go BC Wine!!
