THE SHOW

Tasting Room Radio has supported the BC and Canadian wine industries for 8 years through broadcast of the Vancouver Wine Festival.

This year has the potential to be the best ever. That’s because Canada is the featured wine region. Finally!!

For the next three Saturdays we will present the stars of Canadian wine.

From BC, Ontario and Nova Scotia.

We start with a free-for-all hour in the Roundhouse Radio studios. Like a wine cage match.

All shows like this need an overview. A how, why and when.

Leading the way are:

DJ Kearney. Director of Wine at NewDistrict.ca Acknowledged wine educator and judge.
Kurtis Kolt – Wine Educator, event producer and wine columnist for The Georgia Straight
Rhys Pender – Master of Wine and co-owner of Little Farm Wines.

Moving the winery forward through Rhone style wines.
