Interesting. Thanks to all for their replies. Other than Tinhorn Creek, the specific names mentioned are all from Ontario. Tinhorn Creek is a BC winery.

Innkeeper had a very good point. The restrictions on shipping wines between provinces must be very formidable. For exampe, the number of wines from Ontario that are available here in BC is very limited. I wish I knew more about the restrictions.

Chittychattykathy surprised me (blew me away, actually) when she said she had 24 Canadian wines in her store. The two stores I visited in Seattle had none at all. By the same token, there are virtually no wines from Washington and Oregon that are generally available here in BC. There are some available in the wine specialty stores.
Her point about them not making enough wine to distribute is a very good one too. There are many "cottage" wineries here in BC whose wines are available ONLY at the winery. The provincial Liquor Distribution Branch (which buys and distributes all wines to the government owned liquor stores) has a rule that a winery must manufacture a minimum quantity of a particular wine, such that the wine can be distributed across the entire province, before it will accept the wine. Stupid, I know.

Is the situation the same in the US? All I ever hear about are California wines, but I know that New York state for example has a sizable wine industry. Are wines from across the country generally available? Here is my ignorance showing again - other than California, New York and Washinton/Oregon, what other areas produce wines?
