30 years of wine science — celebrated with a littl 30 years of wine science — celebrated with a little grape stomping. 🍇🍷Today Brock University’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute — CCOVI — celebrated its 30th anniversary, bringing together researchers, educators, winemakers and community leaders who have helped shape Niagara’s wine industry.And, naturally, there was a grape-stomping championship.The winners even celebrated by drinking the freshly stomped juice straight from their boots. 😂I’m pretty sure that part wasn’t covered in wine school.Congratulations to CCOVI on 30 years of research, education and support for Canadian wine.Cheers to the next 30! 🥂#CCOVI #BrockUniversity #NiagaraWine #NiagaraWineCountry #CanadianWine #OntarioWine #WineEducation #GrapeStomp #StCatharines #DoctorMcTavish @brockuniversity @ccovibrocku
51 Niagara Cabernet Francs. One goal: find the Top 51 Niagara Cabernet Francs. One goal: find the Top 10. 🍷On Thursday, we put 51 Cabernet Francs from across Niagara to the ultimate test.Our judging panel tasted every wine completely blind — no labels, no winery names, no reputations. Just the wine in the glass.After hours of tasting, scoring and comparing, the 2026 Niagara Top 10 Cabernet Francs were selected.Then that evening, we turned things over to the wine lovers at our People's Choice tasting and let them have their say.So… which wines made the Top 10? 👀We're keeping that secret just a little longer.🏆 The results will be revealed in mid-September.A huge thank you to our judges, the Niagara wineries that submitted their wines, Siris Tasting Room, and everyone who joined us for the People's Choice tasting.Stay tuned. The winners are coming. 🍷#NiagaraWine #CabernetFranc #NiagaraCabFranc #OntarioWine #CanadianWine #WineTasting #BlindTasting #WineJudging #WineEducation #Niagara #StCatharines #DoctorMcTavish
