Topic:\u00a0\u201cThe 6 best wine types already proven most successful for BC\u201d (or why I love BC chenin blanc, riesling, white blends, pinot noir, cab franc, and syrah)!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"david<\/p>\n

DAVID SCHOLEFIELD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Few in the wine industry need an introduction to David Scholefield. His personality, experience, and profound global insight to the wine industry, in addition to his sharp wit and expert palate, make him a valued member of the Okanagan Crush Pad team. David was the inspiration for the Okanagan Crush Pad business model, which he first envisioned over ten years ago.<\/p>\n

David\u2019s devotion to wine sustained him throughout his long career as senior wine buyer for the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB), where he earned a global reputation for his ability to shepherd allocations of the world\u2019s finest wines onto the shelves of BC liquor stores. It was during his many buying trips to wine regions around the world that he was first introduced to the concept of a cooperative wine production facility. The light bulb turned on while on a visit to New Zealand in the early 1990s when he discovered several of the top producers were making their wine from the same facility. David is an ambassador for Okanagan Crush Pad, and the \u201cS\u201d in the winery\u2019s Bartier Scholefield label.<\/p>\n

When he does not have his nose in a glass of wine, David can be found stomping through fields tracking birds or lurking around music shops and book stores in Vancouver. You can follow here\u00a0@TrialtoBC<\/a><\/p>\n

Topic:\u00a0\u2018Place not \u00a0Grape: Defining Okanagan terroir\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Michelle-Bouffard-Headshot\"<\/p>\n

MICHELLE BOUFFARD\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michelle grew up in Qu\u00e9bec where she studied classical trumpet and performed, taught and conducted music. She moved to Vancouver in 1996 to finish her bachelor\u2019s degree in classical music and learn English. While serving in fine dining restaurants, she took an introductory wine course, which proved to be a revelation. In 2003, she completed her International Sommelier Diploma with top marks and worked as the resident sommelier at Marquis Wine Cellars. She went on to complete the internationally recognized Wine & Spirit Education Trust\u2019s (WSET) Diploma Programme in 2007 with her first year funded by a scholarship awarded by the Vancouver Chapter of Les Dames d\u2019Escoffier. Today Michelle is an instructor for the International Sommelier Guild and is a regular guest on French CBC radio. She speaks fluent French and English. Her defining wine moment was having her soother dipped in Champagne at Baptism but she also fully admits that she often cheats on wine with a delicious beer.<\/p>\n

Michelle plays an active role in the wine community, sitting on expert panels for Cornucopia, the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival and the Vancouver Magazine wine awards. Her wine travels have led her to the regions of Burgundy, the South of France, Abruzzo, Piedmont, Tuscany, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Napa, Sonoma, Washington, Oregon and the Okanagan.

Topic:\u00a0\u201cYou don\u2019t have to be rich to start a wine cellar\u2019\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"mm\"<\/p>\n

MICHAELA MORRIS\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michaela spent most of her youth determined to become an actress but a modeling stint in Japan fuelled her desire to travel. She spent several years cycle touring and working her way around Europe before earning a bachelor\u2019s degree in Linguistics and French from the University of British Columbia. A one year exchange program led her back to France where she discovered the region of Burgundy and decided to pursue a career in the wine industry. After a five-year tenure at Marquis Wine Cellars, Michaela went on to become the Marketing\/Logistics Manager for Liquid Art Fine Wines, a premium-only wine importing company.\u00a0Michaela was awarded a scholarship by the Vancouver Chapter of Les Dames d\u2019Escoffier for the internationally recognized Wine & Spirit Education Trust\u2019s (WSET) Diploma Programme. \u00a0She successfully completed her diploma in 2005 and today she is a guest lecturer for the programme. She is fluent in both English and French and continues learning Spanish and Italian. Michaela\u2019s guilty pleasure is lobbing off Champagne corks with a sabre and she has a weakness for anything that sparkles.<\/p>\n

A familiar face in the wine scene, Michaela has participated in tasting panels for Les Chevaliers des Vins de France, Cornucopia and the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival. She has traveled extensively throughout the wine regions of Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Rh\u00f4ne Valley, Abruzzo, Piedmont, Sardegna, Sicily, Tuscany, Val d\u2019Aosta, Napa, Central Coast, Argentina, New Zealand and the Okanagan.\u00a0Co-Founder of House Wine, you can follow here\u00a0@housewine_girls<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Tim<\/p>\n

TIM PAWSEY\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim has been covering the food and wine revolution for about 20 kilos. Count 15 kg alone thanks to the blossoming cuisine and wine culture of British Columbia, Canada.<\/p>\n

Tim\u2019s hallmark is seeking out and recommending value wines from BC and around the world that offer quality at every level. He also scopes out noteworthy restaurants that live up to their promises\u2014and often over deliver. Readers depend on the Hired Belly for his \u201cBelly\u2019s Best\u201d and \u201cBelly\u2019s Budget Best\u201d picks to help them find the right wine for the occasion.<\/p>\n

They include Taste magazine, Tidings Magazine, and Montecristo. His columns are frequently picked up by major newspapers across Canada.<\/p>\n

Tim is a frequent judge for wine competitions, such as Vancouver Magazine International Wine Awards. He is a founding judge of The BC Lieutenant Governor\u2019s Awards for Excellence in Wine. He is frequently invited to judge at The BC Wine Awards, and others.<\/p>\n

Topic:\u00a0Drinking Outside the Box \u2026 Why Vancouver is forever in the Okanagan\u2019s debt<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"john<\/p>\n

\u00a0JOHN CLERIDES\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

John was raised listening to stories about his father\u2019s childhood in a Cypriot mountainside village. He heard about how his grandfather looked after his family of nine by raising an assortment of animals, and by growing their own fruits and vegetables. His grandfather also tended their vines and made wine, along with their local moonshine which was nothing less than racing fuel. The seeds were planted for his curiosity about food and wine.<\/p>\n

In 1977 his career began like any other good Greek Canadian, in the family restaurant. Ten years in the restaurant business gave John a strong foundation for working with people and listening to his customers.\u00a0Painfully aware of the frustrations locals had by the limited selection of wines and indifferent service, John jumped at the opportunity to open Marquis Wine Cellars in 1986. Inspired by speaking with many of his seasoned wine friends and his readings John\u2019s quest for knowledge began.<\/p>\n

John has travelled extensively though Australia, Washington, Oregon, California, Italy, Spain, France and Austria, sourcing unique, flavourful, undiscovered wines. Even after 25 years his quest for discovery remains unabated. You will most likely find John in either one of three places, at Marquis Wine Cellars assisting his clients, in a vineyard or cellar somewhere in the wine world, or his most preferred location: at the local ice rink playing hockey. You can follow here\u00a0@MarquisWineCell<\/a><\/p>\n
