EPISODE 41

Pillitteri Estates Winery 

Icewine the perfect pairing for celebrating!

 It just so happens that one of the most coveted and prestigious beverages enjoyed on this holiday and other days throughout the year in China happens to be Canadian!
Often referred to as liquid gold, it is our iconic Icewine! And Pillitteri Estates Winery is one of the most prestigious and largest producers and exporters of Icewine to China, so naturally we spoke with them all about it.

We invited Charlie Pillitteri, CEO and President of Pillitteri Estates Winery located in NOTL to join us, Pillitteri is the largest producer of estate Icewine in the world and the largest exporter of Icewine to China in the world… he’s has a fascinating story to tell, so Charlie will join us as our first guest.

Other radio guests include John Gao and Franklin Feng of Pillitteri Estates Winery and Schelling Yeh of the Great Mountain Ginseng Company.
