EP 333 | Paul Sawler on BC Wines Now Direct to Alberta

BC Wine/Alberta wine fans.  -  Finally, a hug and a handshake. Our guest is Paul Saywer.  Board Chair  BC Wine Growers & leadership at Dirty Laundry (Summerland) BC wineries can now ship Direct-To-Consumer in Alberta! Starting this week, BC wineries who register can sell into Alberta; report and make payment to AGLC for the wine products they sell directly to consumers in Alberta. Alberta is a huge market for BC wineries, so it is about time that the AGLC caught up, to allow this mutually beneficial relationship. Al Hudec and I advocated against Alberta's blockade of BC wine one year ago. This is great news for BC wineries and growers.  Hello Alberta wine fans!!!   Paul Saywer takes us through the process that achieved this partnership. It took top-level government teams on both sides of the Alberta/BC border get this right. We thank those involved and Paul and the board at Wine Growers for speaking on our behalf.   www.winebc.com www.dirtylaundry.ca
