Eyebrow Raising Wines from Mission Hill with Winemaker Corrie Krehbiel - Episode 324
•
We are joined by Corrie Krehbiel the winemaker from Mission Hill. Michael recently had a chance to taste these wines at an event in Toronto. He was so impressed that he thought this would be a great opportunity to talk to the winemaker from Mission Hill about what's going on there. We asked if they would provide some wines to taste - and they did not disappoint by delivering bottles of Perpetua, Oculus, and Quatrain.
You can order the wines tasted directly from - https://www.missionhillwinery.com/
With thanks to Mission Hill Winery. for providing samples.
