Nestled in between the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario is one of Canada's biggest and most well-known industries: Wine.
A myriad of wineries to choose from are spread around the region, offering almost anything a true wine aficionado could need. But, for us normal folk, this precious part of the area tends to fall by the wayside, that is, at least during the 50 weeks of the year that there is no specific event dedicated to drawing our attention to it; thats is, The Niagara Wine Festival. Wine can be an intimidating thing.
Those who have ever attempted to go to a winery for a tasting know exactly what I am talking about. Walking into the boutique, having to pretend like you know what you're doing. Following all the formalities of testing that tiny little glass of wine, and at the same time, watching the person beside you to make sure that you didn't miss an important step that would 'ruin' the tasting experience. All the while, being confused because you don't actually see any difference in the colour, smell the rich scent of dark chocolate, or know what the heck a full-bodied wine really entails.
