About the Book

"The perfect go-to guide for those looking to sip and savour the province's best and brightest." --Vancouver Sun A perfect pocket guide that collects 50 of the most seek-worthy wines in BC from the wine expert who's tried them all. In this handy portable guide to the top 50 British Columbia wines under $50 a bottle, wine expert Luke Whittall abandons the usual language of tasting notes in favour of a more personalized, approachable style, focusing on experiences, good company, and where a wine might take your thoughts. As a wine industry professional, Whittall found himself inspired more by the way non-professionals talk about wine than the "hints of fresh cherries, dried herbs, and soupçons of eucalyptus" style often favoured in traditional wine writing. Sipster's Pocket Guide describes the experiences bound up in the tasting of 50 of the most amazing wines this province has produced, including reds, whites, rosés, sparkling, and dessert wines. With its emphasis on affordability and personal experience, rather than vintner and vintage specifics, Whittall's guide reads less like the average wine fare and more like tips from a funny, candid friend. Before you head to the liquor store to deliberate over your next sip, take a glance through Sipster's.

Review :
Praise for The Sipster's Pocket Guide to 50 Must-Try BC Wines: Volume 1 "The perfect go-to guide for those looking to sip and savour the province's best and brightest releases." --Vancouver Sun "This may be the most original wine book you will read this year. Luke Whittall's iconoclastic tasting notes offer a new and thoroughly refreshing way to approach British Columbia wines." --John Schreiner, Canada's most prolific wine writer "Without dumbing down the knowledge. . . You can choose a wine to match your attitude. From happy to herbal. From rock star to romantic." --Mulligan Stew "Sipster's Pocket Guide describes the experiences bound up in the tasting of 50 of the most amazing wines this province has produced." --My VanCity Praise for The Sipster's Wine Guide series "A fun and informative guide, useful for people just starting to explore BC wines, as well as long-time winos like myself." --Brian Glaum, Past President, BC Wine Appreciation Society "Luke Whittall avoids the stuffiness and pretension all too common in wine writing and instead approaches the topic with humour and joy." --Montecristo Magazine "Bravo to Luke Whittall for creating this user-friendly guide to entice readers to dive deeper into our exciting BC wine country and to encourage us go wild with our wine pairing descriptors . . . he has literally expanded our tasting note lingo while at the same time giving us permission to loosen up and have more fun with the whole wine experience. Words like'Operatic', 'In your face', 'studious' or 'happy' are clever and are also incredibly en pointe. Bravo Luke!" --Jennifer Schell, author The BC Wine Lover's Cookbook The portable pocket guides to Ontario and BC wines are very approachable in style, zeroing in on experiences, good company, and "where a wine might take your thoughts" or attitudes." --Dean Tudor, food and wine writer "Outlandish advice and recommendations in an atypical wine book." --Kelowna Now
