Unwined: All about Ontario

from Unwined with Mandi Robertson Hosted by CJAD 800

Ontario's wine industry has transformed over the past few decades, and this week on Unwined with Mandi, we're exploring its past, present, and future. Sponsored by Wines of Ontario, Mandi sits down with renowned winemaker Thomas Bachelder, Montreal native and one of the pioneers of Niagara Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Gabriel De Marco, Head Winemaker at Cave Spring Vineyard, to discuss the evolution of Ontario wine and where the industry stands today, and Chris Thompson of Volta Estate in Prince Edward County, who shares his vision for the next generation of Ontario winemaking. Mandi also highlights the International Cool Climate Chardonnay Celebration (i4C), taking place in Niagara from July 16–19, where wine lovers can enjoy tastings, winery dinners, educational seminars, and meet producers from Ontario and cool-climate wine regions around the world. For tickets and event information, visit www.coolchardonnay.org. Plus, Mandi shares her Wines of the Week, featuring some outstanding Ontario bottles that prove there's never been a better time to discover Canadian wine.
