THE British Columbia
Wine Companion. John
Schreiner, Orca Books
$19.95

The history of wine-muak-
ing in B.C. may not be tong
or even illustrious (yet), but
it’s far from dull, as fohn
Schreiner demonstrates in this
his second book on the indus-
try.

Organized alphabetically as
a kind of “Who's Who” of the
B.C, plonk racket, The British
Columbia Wine Companion
offers fascinating short bios of
such colorfiel characters as
Calona Wines founder “Cap”
Capozzi, (who once asked a
bum who panhandled a quar-
ter fora drink, “How do J
know you won't spend it on
coftee?”), and the visionary
renegade Joe Busnardo who
planted noble grapes ahead of
his time at his Divino Estate
Winery. (Busnardo’s Amarone
has the distinction of being
the worst wine | have ever
tasted.)

Schreiner is a meticulans
historian with a tile deeper
than an clephant’s imemory
there is even any entry tor
“Aip™, a gin and wine based
joy-yuice that predated coolers
by two decades and was the
cheapest porch-climber on the
shelves, as well as sundry
other forgotten “beverages”
