It is with great sadness that the CCOVI team learned of the tragic and senseless loss of well-known winemaker Paul Pender of Tawse Winery in Vineland.  Paul was deeply involved in the Niagara wine community and was a regular collaborator and participant at many CCOVI education events including FIZZ Club, Experts Tasting and Cuvée. Many of us at CCOVI had the pleasure of working with Paul through the years and will miss his brilliance, sense of humour and easy-going nature.
