barrel samples - a podcast by Mitch Mccurdy & Marc Pistor

      We are proud to be a member of Wine Country Ontario. While we have been crafting wine since 1990, countless others have been making wine in this tiny strip of land since the 1890s, with other winemaking enterprises in the province dating back to the early 1800s!

      Since its inception, Wine Country Ontario has made its mission to continue to push forward the development of the Ontario wine industry and strive for excellent quality from all of its member wineries. As a member or Wine Country Ontario, we make it our mission to not only produce quality wines, but to continue to evolve along with our province. 

      More than just a seal on a bottle, VQA is about quality assurance and the integrity of 100% authentic Ontario Wine. Beginning in 1988, Ontario wineries sought to create an authentication and appellation system similar to that of the system seen in France.

      Vintners Quality Alliance, or VQA, relies on origin of grapes, quality control of wines and labeling, and authenticity of its wines for you to know that what you are drinking is 100% local.
