Another interesting article, Petrina! I've tasted smoke-impacted wines from Oregon and from Okanagan (BC, Canada) and didn't really enjoy them, but wildfires have affected vineyards in both regions over the past few years. I'll keep tasting/buying the wines to support small businesses, but have also relied on local wine shops to guide me to "less smoky" varieties.
That’s so interesting, thanks for sharing your smoky wine experience, Christine! I learned that some wineries resort to “limited editions” so customers know that particular year will taste differently.
