Sample VQA wine and nibble on Canadian cheese as Brock\u2019s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI) teams up with VINES<\/em> magazine and the Dairy Farmers of Canada for wine and cheese seminars during the Niagara Wine Festival.<\/p>\n

Each seminar will feature tastings of two Niagara VQA wines. Dairy Farmers of Canada will supply cheese plates paired with each wine and cheese expert Deborah Levy will provide tasting notes.<\/p>\n

The interactive 50-minute seminars will be co-hosted by Christopher Waters, editor of VINES<\/em> magazine, wine writer for the St. Catharines Standard<\/em> and Niagara Falls Review<\/em> and Continuing Education instructor at CCOVI<\/a>, as well as by Barb Tatarnic, co-ordinator, Continuing Education and director, Canadian Wine Library.<\/p>\n

During the sessions, winemakers will share the stories behind their wines and their approach to winemaking. Many seminars will feature alumni winemakers of the Oenology and Viticulture (OEVI) program.<\/p>\n
