It was a fun night!
 

At this winemaker’s dinner our guests had the opportunity to sample a variety of Nova Scotia wines & met the people who are actively involved in the province’s growing wine and travel industry including Gina Haverstock, winemaker at Gaspereau Vineyards, Halifax’s renown Sommelier &  co-owner of Valley Wine Tours, Sean Buckland & a  team from Nova Scotia Tourism 


“The idea of Nova Scotia wine often brings smirks to the faces of wine lovers in Ontario. How on earth can they make decent wine in a place like that, with awful winters & short summers?...but the proof is in the bottle, not on the label, & I tasted some very good wine on my trip, especially at Jost Vineyards & Gaspereau Vineyard.”
 
– Rod Phillips, Wine Writer, The Ottawa Citizen
