Lydia Tomek winemaker @Ravinevineyard loves being in the vineyard & says it’s the 1st step to making high quality wines. Our local growers’ passion goes into every bottle of 100% Ontario grown wine & when you support locally grown you support the future of our grape&wine industry

I think wine critics should indicate when the sample they have tasted has been coravined - I like coravin, but it isn’t perfect. As a producer, if I sent a sample bottle for tasting, I would expect it to be tasted by opening and pouring. Do you agree?

From a friend in Spain: “So, there was a call on social media today in Spain to go out to balconies and windows at 22:00 to give a huge ovation to thank and support hospital workers. It’s 22:05 and I can hear the roar from the other side of the closed double glass windows.” – at Bethesda, MD

Riesling was one of the first vinifera varieties planted in Ontario, with some vines dating back to 1975. When tasting Riesling, expect floral aromas and the refreshing flavour notes of citrus, nectarines, peaches and green apple. Make sure you try a #VQA Riesling today!

Touring the vineyard yesterday with our Winemaker, @LydiaLoca, while she sampled our Chardonnay grapes! 🍇 We're really proud of our organically-grown estate Chardonnay! They're ripening along well, we're just patiently waiting to pick - hopefully next week! 🚜

@BurningKilnWine so glad to have 3 years of passion and great wines and another boost to @OntSouthWine @ONCraftWineries
Last walk through the most humbling, enlightening block of vines I had to work with to date . It was a challenge but worth every kilometer on the road and minute in the cellar. I had the chance to make some of my… instagram.com/p/ByDRiHzHbXc/…
