Divergence signifies a change in life direction and Winemaker Jeff Moote definitely personifies that. He left a 10-year career as a chemical engineer and delved into the world of winemaking, taking classes at Brock University and then launching his own label in 2020. Not having his own vineyards gives Jeff the ability to search out grapes from a variety of growers from Lincoln Lakeshore to Niagara on the Lake. We discuss the choices of vineyards, the art of making sparkling wine and taste some fabulous wines. Once again, I had the opportunity to try a wine I had never had before – MRV. It is a blend of Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier and it was a truly amazing experience. The tropical notes on this wine are fabulous!! Do something different on your next wine tour and discover the beauty of small wine makers – you’ll be glad you did.
