Spill the Wine Episode 33: Affordable, approachable, easy drinking wines. A visit to Palatine Hills Estate Winery (Part 1)

We're on the road again, this time with our first visit to the Niagara on the Lake region to explore the wines at Palatine Hills with winemaker Vadim Chlekhov. Vadim's passion and appreciation for wine began at an early age. He tasted wine with is grandfather and then drew pictures of what he tasted. He's now an incredible wine maker who believes the winemaker is essentially a steward that guides the grapes through the fermentation process. In this episode, we focus on the entry level wines that are affordable, very flavourful and award winners.  It's part of the process of demystifying wines, and you'll be amazed when you come visit and taste them.
