The Week In Review

As we settle into our 150th year as a nation many of us are contemplating the past and the future.

As we settle into our 150^th year as a nation many of us are contemplating the past and the future. We don’t have it all right yet but we remain an outward, forward-thinking society who continue to make our way in a complicated world. Canadian wine will be in the spotlight today across the country, and while we remain virtually unknown around the world, save for the odd tasting in London or New York, our time is coming. Our advice: get some local wine while you can before the export train leaves the station. In the meantime, you can catch up on our current Cheese Dream: Burrata, our Top 10 Canadian wines that makes us proud, and our latest video on the origins of Kiwi sauvignon blanc. And, what we do best of all: our the latest wine reviews.
