Winemaker Emma Garner at Thirty Bench (replete with Xmas tree).
This week we catch up with our good friend Winemaker Emma Garner as she gives us a breakdown of the 2014 vintage at Thirty Bench.
This coming Monday Emma will be participating in this year’s Terroir symposium as part of a panel discussion/tasting around the concept of Terroir.
A Different Look At Terroir: How Much Do Soils Actually Matter?
The term terroir is often thrown about with abandon. In this seminar/tasting we ask what the term really means, and how much do its many different elements actually influence the character of the finished wine?
Panelists:
- Dr. Kevin Pogue Phd. Geology, Whitman College, Walla Walla, Washington State, USA
- Dr. Jim Willwerth Phd. Biological Sciences: Plant Sciences; Oenology and Viticulture (CCOVI, Brock University, Niagara, Canada)
- Winemaker Emma Garner (Thirty Bench, Beamsville Bench, Ontario, Canada)
- Winewriter Stuart Pigott (Author of Riesling: Best White Wine On Earth, Berlin, Germany)
Moderator: Wine writer/Sommelier Sara d’Amato (Wine Align, Toronto, Canada)
