Our Wine Tasting Hack-a-Thons are gaining momentum, with a palpable excitement as we all gathered yesterday to taste great wines, compare notes and share our discoveries live on social media.
In the last 24 hours, we’ve posted more than 900 reviews (more to come) and almost as many shares on Facebook, Twitter and other social media. You see videos and pictures from our previous wine tasting hack-a-thon in October here.
Martha Kelly is the wine expert on the Rogers Daytime Television and the owner of the Capital Wine School, where she teaches the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) courses.
Martha discusses how insightful it was to taste spectacular vintage ports while still young to see how they evolve over time.
Director of the Sommelier Program at Ottawa’s La Cite Collegiale and author of the popular book “Wine Tasting with Friends” Tom Vigeant talks about why it’s important to taste and recommend wines that most people can actually afford.
Heather Wall, Wine Columnist for the Huffington Post, talks about overcoming palate fatigue when tasting many wines.
Master of Wine candidate and sommelier Astrid Young combines her professional career as a musician (she is the sister of music legend Neil Young) in a new television show launching in 2015.
Director of the National Capital Sommelier Sean O’Regan talks about his favourite wine of the tasting from Argentina.
Sommelier Doug McMillan talks about his favourite red wine from California at the tasting.
Sommelier Lori Kilmartin talks about a wine that she enjoys both in the glass and for cooking.
