March 21st, 2026- A reconnect interview with Luke Whittall - Author of The Sipster Books

THE SHOW

Luke Whittall, author of 3 popular Sipster books on BC wine and 2 on Ontario wines, dropped me an email the other day.

He was watching the new TV series, Age of Attraction, on Netflix.

In the middle of a table during a scene, the cast was pouring and sipping Q&A white and red.

He thought I might be interested, as that’s a wine brought to market by Jason Priestley, Michal Mosny from Winemaker’s Cut and myself.

Needless to say, it was high-five material.

One thing led to another.

I had thought that it was time to get caught up with Luke. It all worked out.

I wanted to know Luke’s take on 2 seasons of Crafted in BC wines, whether he had consumers walking away from possible sales because the grapes came from American vineyards.

What his next book would be about and why, thoughts on no/low releases, hosting his new podcast and – why – was he watching Age of Attraction?
