Jlohr 7 Oaks, although locally in the Fraser Valley there are great wineries. Domaine de Chaberton being the best in my opinion.
Recently got my hands on a bottle of Note Bene by Black Hills Estate Winery. Believe the hype: this wine is divine.
Cameron Hughes Cabernet Sauvignon
Black Hills Syrah
Definitely Ping from See Ya Later Ranch
Cono Sur Viognier
Amarone, Della Valpolicella
