On the Road with the Grape Guy

Report from - WWCC Virtual Winery Tasting ... April 15, 2011

29 May 2011

One of the most interesting Wine Writers' of Canada Circle tasting in some time saw us trying wine from 10 different virtual wineries (wineries without property or retail space to call their own) and talking with 9 principals from these new labels:

Thomas Bachelder - Bachelder Wines
Charles Baker - Charles Baker Wines
Steve Byfield - Nyarai Cellars
Peter Graham - Five Suns
Jeff Hundertmark - 100 Marks
Kevin Panagapka - 20-27 Cellars
Nicole Speranzini - Mike Weir Winery
Ilya Senchuk - Leaning Post Winery
Andrew von Teichman - Generations Wine Company
not personally in attendance, but his wine was - Paul Ross

Each winemaker or winery principal introduced themselves and their project, many based on single varietals (or at least they started out that way).  And all with one goal, to one day open their own bricks and mortar winery ... or almost all.

(an upcoming newsletter will delve a little deeper into Virtual wineries - but you can learn a little about these winemakers right now by clicking here)
