Welcome to Spill the Wine – a podcast obviously about WINE! Wine is the one beverage that people seem to think they can't enjoy unless they know something about it, which is quite odd when you think about. But have no fear - we are here to help you learn about wine, debunk some myths, and introduce you to the wonderful wines in Canada. Co-Created by Lukas Sluzar & Andrea Morris

    Spill the Wine Episode 46: A visit to Redstone Winery and Restaurant. Will Andrea pass the black glass blind tasting challenge?

    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!

    Spill the Wine Episode 45: Back to the beginning! A revisit to Cornerstone Estate Winery

    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!  Produced by Lukas Sluzar, recorded April 22, 2026 Show notes: www.cornerstonewinery.com Wines sampled: 2023 Pinot Gris, Naked Chardonnay (unoaked), 2024 Blush Hour, 2020 Merlot, 2020 Hindsight, Fizzy Peach

    Spill the Wine Episode 44: Experience a warm hug from the vineyards: A visit to Malivoire Wine Company

    Founded in 1998, Malivoire is one of the older wineries in the Bench region and General Manager Shiraz Mottier has been involved with the winery since 2000. The uniqueness of the winery is that it uses the gravity process. It's built on the side of a hill with the retail shop at the bottom of the hill, and the vineyards at the top, which of course explains gravity.  We talked with Shiraz about the evolution of the winery labels, and the importance of the mural in the winery, with showcases community, collaboration and sharing wine together. We certainly had a great time sharing wine with Shiraz and the laughs continue throughout the podcast. We also come up with a genius description of Gamay – first as a street wine, then a busker wine and finally a Banksy wine. This episode will definitely put a smile on your face and make you want to come to Malivoire to taste the magic! Produced by Lukas Sluzar, recorded March 18, 2026 Show notes: www.malivoire.com Wines sampled: 2023 Biscous Blanc de Gamay, 2025 Melon, 2022 Motiar Chardonnay, 2024 Gamay, 2024 Genova Gamay, 2023 Small Lot Pinot Noir

    Spill the Wine Episode 43: Exploring the wonderful world of Appassimento wines. A visit to Foreign Affair Winery

    In the early 2000's, Len and Maria Cristino purchased 40 acres of property with the intention of making appassimento wines. In this episode, we chat with Winemaker Rene Van Ede about the process of making this type of wine, which involves drying the grapes for 4-6 week, which in turn concentrates the sugar and acid. The result is a wine with a deep colour and beautifully concentrated flavours. It's also interesting to note the similarities between ice wine and appassimento wine – but I'll let you discover that on the podcast! Our conversation with Rene is packed with lots of laughs and loads of information, and I'm sure you'll be planning a trip to Foreign Affair after listening. Produced by Lukas Sluzar, recorded March 18, 2026 Show notes: www.foreignaffairwinery.com Wines sampled: Traditional Sparkling, 2025 Sussreserve Reisling, 2025 Chardonnay, 2024 Cabernet, 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Whiskey Barrel, 2023 L'eredite, 2025 Reisling Appassimento

    Spill the Wine Episode 42: Chasing the Pet Nat Bubbles. A second visit to King and Victoria

    Tiny bubbles in the wine make me happy – and if they make YOU happy, then this is the episode for you as we explore the wonderful world of Petillant Naturels (aka Pet Nats).  Rob Harold and Joe Shenck, the owners and wine makers of King and Victoria talk about their initial experimentations with making Pet Nats, and the challenges of making a wine that is still fermenting in the bottle. We toss around some great ideas wines for expanding their  Pet-Nat portfolio. And Rob unwittingly comes up with yet another great t-shirt slogan (check the title of this episode for a clue!) When you've finished listening, you will be able to confidently choose Pet Nats as a Jeopardy category.

    Spill the Wine Episode 39: What wine goes well with bird watching? A visit to Peninsula Ridge Estates Winery

    Peninsula Ridge opened their doors in August of 2000, making it one of the older wineries in the Niagara Bench area. Owner Norm Beal and head winemaker Sean Palmer shared some interesting facts about the history of the winery, which was originally settled in. The winery is also on the migration route for birds of prey. From April until the end of June, you can sit on the patio and watch the birds glide on the convection currents all around the vineyards. And of course, you will also enjoy some absolutely stellar wines at great prices. This winery definitely over delivers on quality and you will have a great time here. Produced by Lukas Sluzar, recorded February 11, 2026 Show notes: www.peninsularidge.com Wines sampled: Tiny Bubbles Sparkling, 2024 Cabernet Rose (Beal Vineyard), 2025 Sauvignon Blanc, 2024 Reserve Fume Blanc, 2019 McNally Vineyard Proprietors Reserve Pinot Noir, 2020 Arcanum (Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah blend)
