B.C. Food And Wine Radio: Mar 12, 2026

On this week's podcast, join us from the 47th annual Vancouver International Wine Festival as we speak with Chris Hoffmeister, Chief Executive Officer of Select Wines. We discuss fine wines and even finer profit margins for international producers dealing with a sharp drop in wine consumption worldwide. Romain Chevrolat, Winemaker at Domaine Laroche, takes us to the south of France, where we taste Chardonnay and Premier Cru Chablis. Nicholas Villaon, General Manager, Canada, for the Advini wine group, talks about the extensive network of brands Advini offers and the many innovative ways it is making wine relevant and engaging in a constantly changing and demanding marketplace.
