THE SHOW

Thanks to the kind invitation from the good people at Poplar Grove Wines in the Okanagan, I got to drive to Lake Louise Alberta..one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

That’s a good start.

I get to stay at The Post Hotel, itself a match for the mountains and the lakes and rivers that abound. www.posthotel.com
It’s the 5th annual Wine Summit, presented by the owners and brothers Andres and George Schwarz. It speaks volumes that they have 32,500 bottles of wine in the cellars at The Post. Wine Spectator recently awarded the Post its highest honour “The Grand Award”. www.winesummitlakelouise.com
