ABOUT THE WINES AND VINEYARD
Along with exceptional terroir, owners Jane, Ian, Matt and Christie Mavety credit their success to the integrity of their estate. To the Mavety family, “estate” means more than the piece of land; it extends to the practice of both viticulture and wine making by the same owner-operators. At Blue Mountain, it also means the use of 100% estate-grown grapes. Following the estate concept to its fullest extent sets Blue Mountain apart from most North American wineries. Indeed, in the burgeoning industry of the Okanagan Valley, Blue Mountain can make the rare claim of more than 36 years of continuous grape production by one family.  www.bluemountainwinery.com

In 1971, as Ian completed his Agriculture degree, the Mavetys acquired the land which is now their vineyard. It is a site that has epitomized the wine industry in British Columbia  the undeniably striking scene of Blue Mountain’s vineyard has been cover material for many travel publications. Overlooking Vaseaux Lake, surrounded by protected wilderness area and framed by steep blue mountains, the prized geography of undulating hills and mountain protection was swiftly recognized to offer varying micro-climates. The enormous potential prompted the Mavetys to establish the vineyard.

ABOUT THE COOKBOOK
Five years after Vancouver Cooks, which sold more than 13,000 copies, the Chefs’ Table Society of BC returns with over 100 new recipes from 70 cutting edge chefs around Vancouver, Whistler, the Okanagan Valley and Vancouver Island, including: Pino Posteraro of Cioppino’s, Tojo Hidekazu of Tojo’s Res­taurant, Vikram Vij of Vij’s, Melissa Craig of Bearfoot Bistro, Rob Feenie of The Cactus Club, Ned Bell of Cabana, Lisa Ahier of Sobo, John Bishop of Bish­op’s and David Hawksworth of Hawksworth at the Hotel Georgia and our very own Neil Wyles!.

The book focus’s on local food and emerging talents and the province’s pioneering chefs and celebrates Vancouver’s unique culinary cul­ture.
