Terry was raised in Belcarra, BC and attended Port Moody Senior Secondary where he excelled at sports and pursued his passion for film. In his senior year, he co-produced a short film detailing a Canadian soldier's experience in WWII and submitted it to a national competition for high school students, winning a trip to Europe to join in Holland's Liberation commemoration. That trip kindled a love of history and travel which stayed with him for the rest of his life. Terry's sense of adventure and wonder took him around the globe.

In his travels Terry discovered his other passion, wine. He quickly established himself as one of the most promising young sommeliers in Vancouver. Anxious to expand his horizons, Terry made the move to London where he earned his stripes at numerous world class establishments. Terry was particularly proud of his work as head sommelier and wine buyer at celebrated restaurant Chez Bruce. He came back to Vancouver to open Hawksworth Restaurant, before returning to London, assuming the role of Sommelier and Wine and Spirits buying manager for the renowned Selfridges department store.

During his career, Terry and his teams received numerous awards. He was named Sommelier of the Year in 2012 by the Vancouver International Wine Festival, and Vancouver Magazine. For many years he was a Decanter World Wine Awards Judge and returned annually as Festival Sommelier for the Wine Festival. He was a proud mentor to countless promising wine professionals, and a valued member of the local and international wine community.

“Terry was a major part of the local and international wine world and an important founding board member of CAPS BC. He was always happy to share his expertise and was a respected mentor, inspiration, and friend to many of BC’s best sommeliers.” – The Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers

The wines of British Columbia were put to the ultimate test at the final Judgment of BC on Tuesday, October 29, where special guest and wine expert Steven Spurrier joined 32 top wine professionals from around the world and across the country to take part in a full-day, blind tasting of 24 of BC’s celebrated grape varieties; Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah against 16 international benchmarks.

We are proud to announce that Meyer Family Vineyards came in first for the flight of Chardonnay with 2016 Tribute Series Chardonnay, and fifth in the Pinot Noir flight with 2016 McLean Creek Road Pinot Noir. 

Hosted by the BC Wine Institute, and curated by Vancouver based wine expert DJ Kearney, the final Judgment of BC took place in Penticton in the heart of wine country. Inspired by the legendary Judgment of Paris in 1976, the inaugural Judgment of BC was hosted in 2015 by the BC Wine Institute in honour of Steven Spurrier’s visit to British Columbia. Five years later, the BC wine industry is thrilled to welcome Steven Spurrier back to BC wine country to taste and evaluate world-class wines from the region.

“Since I was last in British Columbia in 2015, what I’m seeing is the increasing commitment, investment and quality. Seeing the vineyards showed me how extraordinary some of these vineyard sites are. The purpose of terroir is to allow the grape variety to express itself and BC does that well. Whether it’s Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir or Cabernet Franc, the vineyards are showing an undeniable expressiveness of grape variety and high quality, and in my view, that puts the area in a very strong league in the international market.” said world-renowned Steven Spurrier of Decanter Magazine.

The BC wines chosen for the Judgment were selected through a blind tasting conducted by Barb Philip MW, Rhys Pender MW, Michaela Morris, Kurtis Kolt, Shane Taylor, Christina Hartigan, Alistair Veen, Matt Landry and Sean Nelson, led by DJ Kearney. The selection committee chose the final 24 BC representatives out of a selection of 189 wines.

“This is an experiment to see how BC wines are assessed in a global context. The results make me personally very proud. I think the quality of wines is so high and that was a common theme as we went through flight by flight. Judges were astonished at how high the overall quality was. BC grapegrowers and winemakers have much to be proud of.” said DJ Kearney, wine educator, wine writer and judge.

“What I think is really exciting about BC wines is we’re tasting more and more like ourselves, our individual regions and individual sites. Our best examples are fresh on the palate, pure of fruit and really speak to our beautiful, cool, but hot climate.” said Wine BC BootCamp attendee and judge Barb Phillip, MW.

We have made 36 bottles of the 2016 Tribute Series Chardonnay available to our wine club members here, while supplies last.
