About the Sailing Vessel ORENDA

Come aboard Sailing Vessel ORENDA and cruise through Toronto Islands and Inner Harbour.  We will anchor at the historic lighthouse where you can relax and enjoy a glass of fine Ontario wines and snack while viewing a beautiful summer sunset over the city. If you are feeling adventurous enjoy a quick paddle board while at anchorage. And if conditions are right sing along with the captain as he performs some of your favorite songs on the sailing piano!
Only a small fraction of people actually get a chance to view the city from on the water or even know the beauty that exists moments from the Toronto shoreline. You will move through the water on a 40 ft Piver Trimaran propelled by wind.
With over 800 sq ft of deck space there is plenty of room to relax and stretch out. Orenda is a unique boat in that it is a Trimaran meaning it has 3 hulls. Such a design make it very stable, allowing it to maintain a stable sailing platform quite unlike a traditional sailing vessel.
Orenda has all the comforts of home, a bathroom, fridge, kitchen and is completely self powered via solar. It is a truly off the grid entity.

Celebrating International Rosé Day #RoséAllDay June 22nd, 2018

Join the Rosé revolution!

Episode 70

Coming up on the show today, we celebrate International Rosé Day! Yes, as of a couple of years ago Rosé was awarded  its very own day.  In fact now there are three 3 International Rosé Days!!! It seems wine lovers around the world are increasingly seeing the world through rosé-tinted glasses. They are embracing #RoséAllDay with consumption skyrocketing in popularity.  

Gone are the days of super sweet and sappy roses. Now when you think pink, think crisp, dry with a zippy acidity, well made, with a range of seductive aromas. Including the likes of red berries,  peach, citrus, violet, melon, hibiscus and more depending on where it’s made.

For our second perspective on rosés made in France we turn our attention to the Rhone Valley. Our focus is more specifically the appellation of Ventoux. The Ventoux vineyards actually developed and expanded during the Avignon papacy. This papacy was 1309 -1376. The kings of France drank these wines over the centuries.

Our producer Ogier founded in 1859 is situated in the southern Rhone in the famous Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This literally translates to “new castle of the Pope”. Ventoux is enjoying a positive affect of climate change now due to the warmer climes. They are producing wines of deeper colour and body.

Ogier’s Ventoux rosé comes from the best vineyards.

The vineyards are part of the appellation in the South East of the Mont Ventoux mountains. In a recent interview with Associate Winemaker and Brand Ambassador Raphael Pommier we learned that the beautiful acidity his Ventoux wines enjoy along with the full body is due to the positioning of the vineyards. Raphael’s desired culinary partner to enjoy with his Ventoux are grilled veggies doused with olive oil, zucchini, tomatoes and lamb. All prepared with a healthy rub of fresh Provencal herbs was among his top picks, and ours!

Julien Cothenet of Remy Pannier

The Loire Valley is the second largest region for the production of Rosé wines, just after the Cotes de Provence but unfortunately they are not as well known, explains Julien.!!!
He goes on to say, “however, our Rosé d’anjou Appellation is among the fruitiest Rosé you can find in France. With a lovely hint of softness which makes it so easy to drink. Keep it mind also its low level of alcohol, around 10.50 %. You can drink it all day long, it is so refreshing  during a hot summer day!!!! ( with a little bit of moderation anyway)
Grilled Shrimp

Julien’s loves to enjoy a glass of wine after a long day of work, to relax with just red berries or with spicy peanuts. His favourite pairing is Remy Pannier Rose D’Anjou with grilled shrimps, spicy pork sandwich, or  a vegetable quiche. Sounds pretty good to us!!!

The history begins with Mario Adamo: visionary, risk-taker, pioneer.

Born in Calabria, Italy, and arriving in Canada when he was 18 years old, Mario followed the path to where his passion for food could shine. In 1972, Mario and his wife Nancy started a thriving catering business, and in 1985, they took the opportunity to move their business and life to a location that really felt like home. It was then that Hockley Valley Resort was born, and has now evolved into a 104 room, four-season resort and culinary destination.

"<yoastmark

As the years passed, Mario continued to consider the land in their region, comparing it to his home in Calabria. He remembered the vine-covered hills fondly, deciding that the hills of Hockley Valley would also be a sustainable option for grape-growing. Alhough the region was not known for winemaking, this did not deter Mario. He followed his instinct and planted some test vines with his late friend, Frank. And he waited.

Mario Adamo's stunning original paintings populate the walls of the stunning Adamo Estate Winery.

The vitality of those vines was confirmed when Jonas Newman of Hinterland Winery paid Mario an early spring visit, confirming that the vines were hearty enough for extended planting.

Adamo Estate Winery offers over 50wines in16 grape varietals.

The Adamo Estate Winery Tasting Bar- The winery offers over 30 wines.

Mario’s sheer will and determination, combined with the family’s standard for the highest quality, is the foundation for Adamo Estate Winery. Along with their drive to succeed, the Adamos sought sage advice (from winemakers like Jonas Hinterland) and capable staff, like their Vineyard and Winery Manager, Shauna White, whose experience is surpassed only by her passion for excellence.
