Unwined: Wines and spirits of Quebec
About this episode
Mandi Robertson explores the wines and spirits of Quebec with various guests, highlighting local production and celebrating Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day.
As Quebecers prepare to celebrate Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, this week's edition of Unwined with Mandi shines a spotlight on the wines and spirits being crafted right here at home. Mandi welcomes Marie-Elaine Dufour and Chris Zacchia of Vignoble Côte de Vaudreuil to discuss their journey as winery owners and their vision for creating more than just great wine. From their new wine, Légende Vivante, to their efforts to build a welcoming gathering place where visitors can connect, relax, and enjoy the best of Quebec hospitality, they share what makes their corner of the province so special. Then, Mandi sits down with Steven Fortin and Elizabeth Ryan, the duo behind Nordique Wine. They discuss how they built a successful wine brand through strategic partnerships, the wines currently available at the SAQ, and their thoughts on the exciting future of Quebec's wine industry. The celebration continues with Maureen David of 1769 Distillery. She shares the story behind the distillery's 100% Quebec-made spirits, including their innovative bag-in-box format, and offers a festive cocktail recipe perfect for Saint-Jean celebrations, backyard gatherings, and Father's Day festivities…
