Spill the Wine Episode 15: A winery named to honor mom: a visit to Cloudsley Cellars

If you're a fan of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this is a winery you MUST visit! Our host, Andrea Morris, speaks with Cloudsley owner Adam Lowy about the reasons for focusing on these two grape varietals, and the choice to outsource their grapes from outstanding growers in the Bench area. Adam talks about making wines that don't make your mouth tired. He provided another great statement regarding wine: "Wine is a snapshot of the time and the place the grapes were grown." They also discuss the challenges of promoting Ontario wines across Canada and around the world, the effect of winter weather on grapes and the reason for different styles of glasses when drinking wine.
