<Climate is a risk at any latitude> Okanogan winemaking seems unusually risky. In this La Nina year, I would not be surprised to see a cold snap in the Okanogan. It is just a matter of building a blocking ridge at the right time. Probably happens less frequently in El Nino years, but I'd have to poke around and find out. My guess is that neutral years and La Nina years (cool phase ENSO) have about the same risk. Although, snowfall is greater in La Nina years from the Cascades east--deeper snow cover may protect the vines for all I know. I lived in Wenatchee Wa, a few vines here and there. My understanding is that the Columbia basin is about as far north you would want to try vines, and peaches and cots. Pushing the limit makes a good article, but Canada really seems a stretch for winemaking. It is enough that Oregon and Washington have some good wines. Canada can takeover the sugar maples as that moves north a few degrees latitude back east. µet?????, meteoron, "high in the sky"; and ?????, logos, "knowledge" I tried to paste the greek, but SI wouldn't take it. Maybe this trick google.com or this... dictionary.reference.com
