Note from the Editors
There’s nothing better than being outside in the warm sunshine and enjoying a BBQ dinner. That’s summer to me. I took inspiration from the annual rib festival events when we asked the chefs for summer recipes. So, feast your eyes on these excellent BBQ recipes on pages 4 to 7. We have to give a special bon voyage shout out to Riverbend Inn Chef, Ross Midgley. Ross is moving back to P.E.I in July after spending 25 years in Niagara. He will be taking on the incredible role as Director of Programs for the Culinary Institute of Canada.
I’d love to introduce you to our amazing E-Commerce team on pages 14 and 15. They are the masterminds who run TheWineShops.com and all our estate online shops. I asked them to share their favourite patio sippers and how they enjoy them, and of course they delivered some incredible pairing ideas. We have lots of ways for you to shop our wines! You can receive home delivery via TheWineShops.com, our estate websites, or in-person at our 100+ The Wine Shop stores across Ontario, and our estates in Niagara. Select bottles can also be found at your local LCBO or via LCBO.com.
Visiting us in Niagara Wine Country this summer? We’ve given you an overview of our patio tasting and dining experiences on pages 12 and 13. Each of our estates offer customizable seated tasting experiences, and patio dining experiences as well. We highly recommend reserving an overnight stay at Riverbend Inn and Vineyard in Niagara-on-the-Lake. All overnight guests receive complimentary tastings at Peller Estates! Visit RiverbendInn.ca for more information and to reserve your stay.
Cheers, Riley McGilvray & Madison Vine
