I’m getting into making short videos of people, places, and things related to Ontario wines, wineries, and food. You can find the early videos on the Ontario Wineries Guide YouTube channel. You’ll find the newer ones — and all future videos — on my channel. So, if you subscribe that channel you’ll get notification when new videos are uploaded.
There’s a good variety of videos, including a number where winemakers and others involved in the winery/spirits business talk about some aspect of their work – those are my favourites.
If you don’t mind some background noise (whether it’s wind, or bird bangers, or folks chatting in the background) and a, shall we say, “down home” style – I think you’ll enjoy them. There’s lots of interesting information, for example, a description of unique grapes grown at Oxley Estate, what a green harvest is, and even information about barrel making. So check them out…
