Andre has been lamenting about summer being over, and clearly the deities heard - how has the spectacularly warm fall been affecting grape harvest for wine? Speaking of harvest season, there's lots of festivities happening, from Oktoberfest in Kitchener to the upcoming Thanksgiving holidays. Discover an array of family and adult activities at the second largest Oktoberfest in the world next to Munich, learn why anything pairs with turkey and why a really old, sweet Gewurztraminer is the perfect accompaniment to the spices of a pumpkin or apple pie.

Hopefully André doesn’t jinx what is looking like a stellar vintage in Niagara - Harvest is underway and while there is less fruit to go around the quality looks great. He sat down with Corey Mio to talk about the vineyard that he and his wife Lena manage.

Last November, André visited the north of Portugal in the search of great, food friendly wine. Vinho Verde - is a region that he visited in 2017 - and it made an impact on him. He felt the need to return. While this was recorded Miroki was planning her own trip to Portugal. Vinho Verde is on so many wine lists in the North - is this region really an underdog? André thinks so - but Miroki isn't convinced.
