Wine is a wonderful thing. It can emanate romance and intrigue, spark discussion and debate. It can evoke a sense of place or inspire a cherished memory. It is contemplative and complex with a story behind every bottle, every label, every vintage and every winemaker. With VineRoutes, we aim to share some of these stories with you. VineRoutes is an Ontario, Canada based platform that intends to provide insight not just on Canada’s wine regions, but on a variety of regions around the world. And there are so many to celebrate. Our lead writer is Carmelo Giardina, who has been sharing his professional views and stories on wine for various publications now for several years. Much of what is posted here will come from him. But we’re also open to inviting others to contribute – perhaps people who are in the industry as winemakers, sommeliers, marketers or sales representatives. People who want to share their thoughts and insights on the very fascinating subject of wine.
