with Antonella Manuli (Fattoria La Maliosa) The challenge of transparency is part of the natural wine mission and can only be achieved by measuring objective parameters. A key issue is the current problem of rising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, which must be addressed in the production of natural wine. CO2 emissions can be measured and are a key indicator of the sustainability of a product...

with Rajat Parr (Domaine de la Côte), Ryan Stirm (Stirm Wine Co) and Tracey & Jared Brandt (Donkey & Goat). Hosted by Joe Campanale (host of IntheDrink and Owner/Wine Director of Fausto).

with Géraud Bonnet (Ferme Apicole Desrochers D.), Emily Campeau (Candide) and Julie Audette (Le Vin dans les Voiles). “A natural wine mecca”, “a capital ‘du bon vivant’”… you’d be forgiven for thinking Paris or even New York. Think again. Montréal is bursting at the seams with restaurants and bars dedicated to the stuff, and there’s a thriving local production scene too. Maybe it’s the abundance o...

with Beka Gotsadze (Gotsa Wines), Kim Engle & Debra Bermingham (Bloomer Creek Vineyard) & Manel Aviñó (Clos Lentiscus). Hosted by Sam Benrubi (The Grape Nation).
