The Thirsty Traveler

British Columbia: Wine (3x12)

Air date: Nov 21, 2005

Ogopogo & Okanagan Wines Nestled between the Cascade Mountains to the west and the Monashee Mountains to the east, is the 124-mile stretch of Lake Okanagan that begins in a true desert and moves through a variety of micro-climates. It’s Canada’s hot spot for wine lovers, producing French and German vinifera grapes from big, ripe reds to fresh, cool whites. And The Thirsty Traveler can’t leave the valley without a boat trip on the lake to catch a glimpse of the legendary Ogopogo - maybe a little wine for the journey is in order!
