It’s a pleasure to announce our second speaker for WineCampTO 3 this Wednesday. Local Wine Ambassador Rick VanSickle. I cannot think of anyone more passionate about Ontario’s culinary and wine identity, than Rick.
Rick’s topic for wednesday>
The proliferation of “value” wines … Fresh, Steve and Chris, Sibling Rivalry, Open, etc. Is this new class of 11-14 dollar wines good or bad for Niagara? Lots of discussion on this here in Niagara. Good points of both sides of the debate. An interactive discussion.
