What is winter like on the Vineyard?

It was a chilly winter this year. Temperatures reached lows of -23 for a couple of weeks, and this is not “normal” like everything else seems to be these days. Hopefully, Gjoa’s Vineyard did not sustain too much winter damage. We are hearing that the Naramata Bench may have 10-25% losses, but our neighbours to the North in Kelowna have not faired as well. Time will tell how the valley was impacted.
