(VancouverSun) - By the time you read this I’ll be wrapping up the 12th Wine Access Canadian Wine Awards competition in Penticton. The number of entries in the 2012 competition is a record breaking 1,247 wines from across the country. Almost everyone who counts in the Canadian wine business has entered wines, although as has been the case from the start, a few wineries choose not to enter for reasons only they can explain. I’m never surprised by anything wineries do or how they interact with their fellow producers. Over the years, owners have made entrepreneurial decisions that seemingly make sense from the boardroom but often look less than admirable when the bigger picture is painted.
