The Niagara Chapter's Canadian Terroir from the "Terroir Series" At Creekside Winery, 2170 Fourth Avenue, Jordan Station
|
As we continue on our journey to discover the essence of the word "terroir" and how it affects the wine in the glass, we step back from our Ontario focus to look at Canada and its different viticultural areas. These will include Ontario, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia. We'll see if we can find some insight into whether or not there are any "Canadian" similarities, or further, if there are any distinctively provincial characteristics and differences.
Our guest speakers will include:
- Craig McDonald: Winemaker from Creekside Winery. Craig has significant international experience and has since settled here in Niagara.
- Kellie MacMillan: Sommelier from the Lord Nelson Restaurant in Burlington. Kelly has worked in the Nova Scotian wineries.
- Jean Martin Bouchard: Winemaker from Hidden Bench Winery. Jean has worked in British Columbia as the Assistant winemaker for Sumac Ridge in the Okanogan Valley
Our event will be held at Creekside Winery. Creekside's owners Peter Jensen and Laura McCain-Jensen have truly Canadian dreams as they are building a multi-provincial company with wineries currently in Ontario and Nova Scotia. This winery truly reflects the spirit of this tasting. If the weather is nice, we'll have the tasting on the patio outside so bring a sweater in case it gets a bit chilly!
As usual, stay afterwards for mingling and delicious nibblies. Hope to see you there!
