About the Winery
Leaning Post

A leaning post is what you find at the beginning of a row of grapes, anchoring the wires that are the frame-work for growing grapevines. It is the beginning of an obsession to translate a time and place into liquid. Leaning Post wines take you to that beginning by finding small, unique plots of land in Niagara and putting them in bottle. Because after stripping away all the fancy buildings and high-tech equipment you are left with a place on this earth that grows wine unlike any other. When you taste that in a glass you just know it. Nadia and Ilya have had to rely on the support of family, friends and financial institutions to make the dream of owning a winery a reality. Leaning Post began as a virtual winery and is so proud to now have the quaint tasting room at 1491 Hwy 8 on their home property in Winona, Ontario.
Ilya and Nadia are the brains and passion behind Leaning Post Wines. It started with a dream to take unique, interesting single vineyard blocks in Niagara and turn them into distinctive, terroir driven wines. Nadia and Ilya first met in their hometown of Winnipeg, MB where their passion for wine and each other was born.
Ilya has been a winemaker in the Niagara Region for the last 17 vintages working at Daniel Lenko Estate Winery, Foreign Affair and now at Leaning Post Wines. Ilya is also a consulting winemaker at the Good Earth Winery. Ilya’s true passion in life is to make world renowned wines from Niagara that really showcase the distinct terroir that Niagara offers.

Joie Farm's 2022 pinot noir from the Naramata Bench pours a pale red-garnet colour and presents a delicate array of savoury and sultry red fruit, damp earth and caraway spice, quite evolved at this stage and likely approaching peak if you're looking to enjoy the remaining red cherry, currant and pomegranate flavours. It seems fuller and more dense than the declared 12.7% alcohol would lead one to believe, and the length is quite excellent. A solid wine, and value, for pinotphiles everywhere.

About the Winery
Cortonesi

“I’m a lucky man who has been given the opportunity to realize my dream and continue my family’s efforts making wine in the land where I was born.” – Tommaso Cortonesi
Tommaso is third-generation winemaker at Cortonesi that owns some of the most prized vineyards in the north and south-east of Montalcino. Favourable geography, rocky soils, and ingenious winemaking all come together to create some of the region's deepest and most elegant Brunello wines.
The Cortonesi family has been making wine since the 1970s. At first, wines were made to be enjoyed by family, friends and neighbours, but then in 1985, Cortonesi had gained enough traction within their community that they began to offer their wines commercially. Today, Cortonesi remains a family business that continues to work according to tradition, while employing modern technologies to the enhance the quality of their production.
Lovers of Sangiovese must experience “La Mannella”, a collection of wines exclusively sourced from Cortonesi's private vine land. This farm covers 56 hectares, eight of which are devoted to the production of some of the world's most coveted and age-worthy Brunello di Montalcino.

Rich and enticing, the inviting bouquet shows dark plum, raspberry, floral, almond and warm spice aromas. The palate is equally appealing with excellent weight and ripe fruit intensity, wonderfully framed by silky texture and polished tannins. Tasted from tank sample. At its best: now to 2029.

About the Winery
Groupe Bellene

Led by Nicolas Potel in Beaune, Groupe Bellene is composed of the négociant arm Maison Roche de Bellene, the winery arm Domaine de Bellene, and a special back-vintage series under the Collection Bellenum label.
- Maison Roche de Bellene offers a complete range of wines, with an emphasis on individual terroirs from old vines of more than 40 years. All of the growers that Nicolas works with are either organic certified or sustainably farmed.
- Domaine de Bellene represents the wines that are produced and bottled from Nicolas Potel's private vineyard holdings.

Nicolas Potel grew up at Volnay's Domaine Pousse d'Or, where his father worked. He trained abroad and returned home in 1996 to build a négociant business and started Maison Nicolas Potel, where he sourced grapes from good parcels, often working with the growers to improve the quality. By 2002, he was making 120 wines from 50 different appellations, and the rest is history!

The estate's commitment to the quality of Beaune wines truly shines with this Premier Cru, redolent of rosewood and noble vegetal notes. An elegant aroma precedes a palate that is both refined and complex. A truly exceptional wine of exemplary elegance.

About the Winery
Garage Wine Co.

Garage Wine was literally started in a garage in 2001, by Etobicoke expat Derek Mossman and his wife Pilar Miranda. Since then, the dynamic duo handcraft wines from a series of individual vineyards located in the Maule and Itata Valleys, in the south of Santiago, Chile.
Garage Wine Co makes wines from a series of individual parcels, small lots / bottlings of 8-22 barrels that include a series of dry-farmed field-blends of Carignan, Garnacha, Monastrell, País, Cinsault and Cab Franc grown on pre-phylloxera rootstock with small farmers in the Maule and Itata. Each wine is from a 1-2 hectare parcel in a different place.
Over the years working in the community they have raised a veritable posse of vineyard hands whose skills are working the vineyards the old way / the traditional way– originario. The vineyards are on the old coastal range of mountains closer to the Pacific and have granitic soils with cracks for roots to get deep down into.
When GWCo. speaks of the provenance of these wines they mean more than just the geological terroir. Derek and Pilar think the farming practices that have evolved over generations have as much to do with the wines’ personalities as the soils. All the wines are made by hand with native yeasts in small tanks, punched down manually and pressed out in a small basket press. GWCo is still very much a DIY operation and we still tow much of the crop back to the winery in trailers behind trusty pickup trucks 2,000 kilos at a time.

Spiced nose with dark fruits and juicy red fruits. The palate has wonderful acidity, freshness, and cherry notes—easy and fresh with real drive. Black olives on the long finish. Ripe, fresh, and baked fruits on the spicey finish.

About the Winery
Sister's Run

Sister’s Run is serious fun. Their talented young winemaker Elena wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.
Returning from a ‘knees-up’ at midnight, mid vintage, she managed to kick off one high heel and slip back into a boot’ just as the cellar crew cried out, ‘Run Sister Run’; and exactly then their winemaker and label took flight!
The stiletto and boot are Sister’s Run; an independently owned and operated winery with a fierce commitment to making the best wines they can from family vineyards. They don’t take ourselves as seriously as we take our wines, but agree with Elena, all you need to know about wine is the five ‘V’s and remember the best wine is the wine you like.

About the Winery
Stéphane Aviron

Stéphane Aviron can be considered a pioneer in his approach to winemaking in Beaujolais, however he would just tell you that he’s simply returning to the traditional practices that have always made fantastic Gamay wines. Sustainable viticulture, extremely old vines and classic Burgundian techniques. He focuses on the Beaujolais village crus, all but forgotten gems of vineyards when the nouveau craze took over, which are the best sites for unique, expressive and terroir driven wines. All of the fruit is sourced from old vines (40+ years), so seeing Vieilles Vignes on the label is a rite of passage, not a privilege. Authenticity and a distinctly Beaujolais style of winemaking is what sets Stéphane apart from the rest.

Morgon is known to be one of the firmest of the Beaujolais cru, and indeed there is solid structure here, plus meaty and earthy note character around the ripe cherry fruit. It is medium bodied, firm and somewhat tannic. There is impressive length here. I would drink up over the next two years. Tasted Feb 2026

From Côte du Py, hillside cru inside the centre of Morgon and a 2022 Aviron that represents the firmer and gripper gamay from the more specific location. Cool, almost blue fruit with an intense floral reduction and layers of interest to peel away. Lays down tracks on the palate with force, like a river dance and yet Beaujolais will always be just a little bit sing-song. “Les beaux messieurs font comme ça. Et puis encore comme ça.” Drink 2026-2029. Tasted February 2026.

This is a bright and flavourful Morgon, with lucent flavours of perfectly ripe, sweet and supple red berries and cherries, savoury herbs, toasted black pepper, and wildflowers. Crunchy acidity and fine tannins lend the palate a balanced structure. The long finish is infused with a hint of gravel and the charming scent of torn violet petals. Complex and unpretentious, this memorable gamay is ready to enjoy over the next two years. Tasted February 2026.

Fantasy name for an Aviron Fleurie, Maison De La Madriére, a house constructed with “sturdy structural timber planks or beams,” or perhaps even "a floating boat, capable of having an assault tower installed in the middle if necessary.” In this case typically floral gamay that’s also quite vertical with a solid core of fruit and structure run straight on through. Tidy and grippy which means Aviron has done well to equip his house (or boat) with a sturdy frame. Gamay sur le pont d’Aviron. Drink 2026-2030. Tasted February 2026.
