Deeply honoured (and more than a little mind blown) to be included as one of the faces of female Canadian winemakers for International Women’s Day on CTV Calgary. (Monday March 8th, 8:15 MT)

I wouldn’t be in a position to be recognized alongside these talented women without the guidance of @jhortonns and the support of @lwwines for which I am immensely grateful.

I had to shovel my *car* this morning. Sometimes the brush just doesn’t cut it! Happy snow day Nova Scotia ☃️

Isolated tastings not so bad.

Proud and excited to share some news about 3 wines

Proud and excited to share some news about 3 wines I’ve had a small hand in making, since joining @lwwines and working with @jhortonns

...
“We are delighted to see three of our wines featured in the 2020 WineAlign Guide to Canada’s Best Wines, announced last week. The 2017 Ancienne Chardonnay was ranked in the Top 10 Chardonnays in Canada list, and both our 2018 Brut Rosé and 2014 Blanc de Blancs Brut are in the Top 10 Sparklings in Canada.

We’re even more thrilled to see Nova Scotia wines represent 40% of the top sparklings list with two wines from our friends @blomidonestate also included! Link in bio to the guide.

All three featured wines are currently available at the winery and in our online shop. Complimentary local delivery (3+ btls) and free Canada-wide shipping ($150+) continues.”

Fresh Siegerrebe juice. Am in serious danger of ‘tasting’ the whole sample before it makes it to the analysis part.

Here we go! Starting with the Siegerrebe.

I’m not the only one waiting expectantly for harvest time - the Frontenac is ripening nicely as are my bountiful tomatoes.

It’s Christmas in July! Our newest barrel cellar

It’s Christmas in July! Our newest barrel cellar addition has been in the plan for a couple of years, but it’s finally here, in plenty of time for harvest. Our first foudre from the world-class Stockinger cooperage, in Austria.

Our L’Acadie around mid-bloom. This stage is happening about 2.5 weeks earlier than last year’s bloom. Mother Nature, I would loooove it if you didn’t throw us any curveballs this year, we’re starting off so well! 🙏🤞

Negotiations are at a standstill between the Jerse

Negotiations are at a standstill between the Jersey calves and the Highland yearlings. Meanwhile, the sheep have rambled off to the Riesling block and declared theirs the best pasture on the farm.
