John,
I would definately second Steve's comments on using the BC liquor
monopoly as your source. We had difficulty 1 time out of ten
crossings. BC customs folks are usually just great but they are like
custom's officials everywhere, eventually you may be the target of a
'by the book' search as we were. We have decided it just goes with the
territory of crossing borders and isn't worth the aggravation. You
never know when a new customs agent is being trained.
The only thing I would add is that you might find sampling the many
good Okanagan Valley wines that have gotten remarkably better each year
we go back to BC, to be worth trying. Some excellent wines, both red
and white, are made in BC and they are not much exported to the US as
far as I can tell. The duty on foreign wine and spirits, I hear, are
their method of protecting this budding wine industry that is rapidly
expanding especially in BC. Culinary delights abound in BC. The ales
are good too. They all go great with the scenery.
