Hello Everyone,
Just a bit of news to share with you…..Tom and I, as well as Denis and Lise Perrault from Domaine Perrault, were given the honour of Wine Person of the Year by the National Capital Sommelier Guild last Saturday night. Our names join the list of past recipients such as Antonio Mauriello – owner of DiVino Wine Studio, Janet Dorozynski – Canadian Wine Promotion Coordinator, Natale Lofaro – Sommelier Program instructor, Stacey Metulynsky and Sean Moher – Founders of Groovy Grapes, Natalie MacLean – Wine Writer and Rod Phillips – Wine Article Writer.
The award means a great deal to us as the criteria for it is that the person(s) is deemed to have had a major influence on the Ottawa wine industry. So as this is our first year being open we were totally blown away with the award!
As many of you know, we are nominated for New Business of the Year for Goulbourn. Although the award from the Sommelier Guild is a great honour, the New Business award is decided by the public so the meaning for us would be the recognition from our customers that they enjoy what we are doing. Voting closes Feb 3/12. www.kanatachamber.com
It was truly an exciting first year and with this year starting this way, 2012 promises to be even better!
More reasons to Celebrate Always!!!
Tom & J

 May 26, 2014 Hello Everyone! It has been a long but busy winter. We have been working away on our new barn which should be ready for next year’s opening season. We have also been busy making new creations in the winery for your enjoyment this season. Something totally different in our product line this year; hard cider! Tom has created a delicious apple cider with subtle carbonation. Note that as it is carbonated, tastings for this product will be done at certain times otherwise the cider will go flat We have a new white – Proprietor’s Reserve – which is a blend of three grapes and yes, one of my new favourites, hence the name. We have a new release of Frontenac Gris; a bit different in taste from 2012, looking forward to seeing what you think of it. The vintage has changed from 2011 to 2012 for the Barrel Fermented Chardonnay but it still has that soft smooth butterscotch taste. New in reds, we have a Marquette Cab Merlot and something that you have all been asking for – Marquett...
