New Scholarship in Memory of Terry Threlfall

A new scholarship is being launched to honour the memory of top sommelier and wine professional Terry Threlfall.

The seed money is coming from the Meyer Family Vineyards Tribute series program. The winery donated the funds to the Threlfall family, who have requested the donations be directed to the BC Hospitality Foundation.

Threlfall was a major force in the BC wine industry, being named Sommelier of the Year in 2012, the first Canadian to be a Decanter panelist, and head sommelier or wine buyer at Selfridge’s and London’s Michelin-starred Chez Bruce.

The Terry Threlfall Scholarship is the result of a partnership between the BCHF, the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers (CAPS), and the VIWF.
