1st Annual Sippie Award Winners

It’s the first annual SIPPIE AWARDS and here are the WINNERS!

Modelled after the BC LG awards, the Sippies are my way of telling you about all kinds of Canadian wines. I’ve written about some of them but there are often others that I can’t include in my books for various reasons (they might be too expensive or limited to one single vintage). I still think you should know about these wines because they are all fantastic wine drinking experiences!   

In this episode, I talk about the best wines I had the honour of tasting last year. Amazing experiences with amazing wines. 

Next week, I will reveal the Sippie Wine of the Year! 

See the full list of winners on Sipsters Icons.

On Seven Estate Winery

Vittorio de Stafano from On Seven Estate Winery joins me in this conversation about starting a super-premium winery with a focused portfolio build on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. His Chardonnay left me utterly speechless when tasting it for the first time last winter when I was writing the first volume of the Sipster’s Pocket Guide to 50 Must-Try Ontario Wines. On Seven was high on my list of Must-Visit wineries while I visited Niagara this fall. This was recorded November 2023 on location in the house that overlooks the vineyard in Niagara on the Lake.
