The Canadian wine industry lost one of its pioneers this week, when Harry McWatters died unexpectedly in his sleep on July 23 at the age of 74.The effect McWatters had on the Canadian wine landscape ? especially in B.C.?s Okanagan Valley ? is immeasurable. For over half a century, McWatters made and sold wine in the Okanagan Valley, advocated for quality standards in B.C. and beyond and acted as an advocate for Canadian wines in this country and abroad.
