In late December I needed to get out of the city before Christmas. The day I spent tasting was having the rare opportunity to show someone new around wine country. Reflecting on the twelve years that I’ve been living in Ontario it’s remarkable to see the dramatic increase in quality...
Michael and André took a bit of time to check out the Sparkle and Ice gala in Niagara on the Lake. André checked out the Icewine Gala in Niagara Fall the previous week. It’s been an Icewine filled January for the guys.
