Or how about just allowing private wine shops like they have in the rest of the free world?
They do exist here.
I'm not too sure about this. The wine shop, IIRC, only carries a handful of brands of Vincor's. Maybe everything of these labels but none of the smaller labels.
Edgemont wine shop in N. Van. and its sister Village Wines on 41st @ Dunbar in Vancouver specialise exclusively on B.C VQA wines. ANother with decent selection of wines not sold by the local LCB/LDB is Broadway Wines on Broadway @ MacDonald.
I like this one (cab-something) from Blossom which is actually based in Richmond but buys its grapes from the Okanagan. It's pretty much what you want. Some of Calon'a single vineyard offerings are quite good.
Yes, and also quite a few private stores. Some of them specialise exclusively on B.C. VQA wines.
