A Delicious Tawse Winery Winemaker Dinner at Provence Marinaside It is always a treat at a winemaker's dinner to be able to talk with the winemaker who gives us some insight into how the wines we are drinking together were made and any challenges they encountered.  I recently attended a winemaker dinner at Provence Marinaside, featuring Jessica Otting from the Niagara region's Tawse Winery, who gave us those insights.

Ontario Cabernet Franc: AMO Estate Winery and Tawse Winery Tasting As I mentioned in a recent Instagram post, with inter-trade barriers coming to a close in Canada by Canada Day and Canadians wanting to support Canadians, I contacted some Ontario wineries about sending me samples of their Cabernet Franc wines to review. Cabernet Franc has found a remarkable home in the diverse terroirs of Ontario, producing wines that are both vibrant and distinctive.

Niagara Region winemakers weather a punishing harvest season in Crush: Message in a Bottle | TVO Med... New TVO Original documentary available across Canada on November 7, 2023 Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Experience a year in the lives of artisanal winemakers

Watched this documentary on TVO last night and highly recommend it.

Crush: Message in a Bottle focuses on those in Ontario, who buck the industry norms of white male wine professionals and who act as responsible "stewards of the soil." I'll add the link to the documentary as a follow-up. #ONwine

Three bottles of delicious cider.

It's tough running a small business these days with costs going up, etc, etc. And Revel Cider is feeling the pinch (see their IG account for details). If you're a fan of really good and interesting ciders, and are able, please consider putting in an order. They ship across 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇲 #ONWine
