Owners Mark Gibson and Johanna Corneilssen have a true passion for cheese – and for pairing it with the perfect wine. They purchased the Cheesy Guy trailer in July of 2024 and have renamed it Cheese Tango to reflect the merging of two distinct forms into something artful. They visit cheesemakers to understand their passion and how they produce the cheeses to provide their customers with some of the finest Canadian cheeses available. It was interesting to learn how what cows eat influences the flavour of the cheese and the similarities between winemakers and cheesemakers. After listening to this episode, I guarantee you will be elevating your charcuterie board to a whole new level!!!

Redstone Winery is a beautiful destination in the Niagara Escarpment, and we enjoyed a wonderful conversation with David Sider - General Manager, and Augusta Van Muyen – Vineyard manager. After chatting about what makes this winery so special, we delved into tasting some of their fantastic wines. For the first time in our podcast, we experienced a blind tasting – all four wines were previously poured in black glasses so we had no idea what we were tasting. We had to guess the colour of the wine, make notes on the flavour and aroma, and then decide what type of wine it was. I must say, it was a pretty humbling experience! How many wines did I guess correctly? I guess you'll have to tune in to find out – and then during YOUR visit to Redstone, you can see if you can do better than I did!

We began our Spill the Wine journey in June of 2024 with Nina Kool Kopanski at Cornerstone, and since that time, many of the wines featured in that episode have been sold out. Nina asked if we would make a return visit to explore the new wines and, of course we said YES! We had a lot of fun tasting some new award-winning wines, like the 2023 Pinot Gris and the 2020 Merlot. You'll really enjoy the tale of the Merlot grapes and you'll even hear me losing a bet to Nina during the interview. What did we bet on? Well, you'll have to listen to the episode to find out! Then you can stop by Cornerstone after you listen, congratulate Nina and enjoy some wonderful wines!
