Wine Shows
As a novice or expert in wine tasting, you will find that attending Wine Shows is truly informative, very worthwhile and great fun! The most recent one we attended was called "The London Wine and Food Show" in London, Ontario. There were numerous events held over 3 days. Topics included:
Tasting Seminars; Talks on Wine Making; Why Visit a Winery; Starting a Wine Cellar; You might not be able to attend one of the large shows in the traditional wine country, but often the large wineries are present at smaller festivals. We would urge you to find one in your area, to learn more about this fascinating subject and perhaps come away with a new perspective. Your Local wineries often have open houses to introduce a new season's vintages as well. Watch for listings in the newspaper, or on-line. Here is a short list of some upcoming events: The Niagra Wine Festival, September 19 - 28, 2008 http://www.niagarawinefestival.com/ The Niagara Icewine Festival, January 18 - February 3, 2008. The Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival, The Toronto Star Wine and Cheese Show, April 4 - 6, 2008. The Ottawa Wine and Food Show, November 7 - 9, 2008. The Gourmet Food and Wine Expo,in Burlington, Ontario, November 20 - 23, 2008. If you know of an event that would be of interest to other tasters, please let us know, by filling out the comment card and we will post it on our site.
