Favourite grape or wine region? 

Favourite grape? Syrah. Favourite region? Beaujolais.

Are you a dog or cat person? Or maybe neither. Maybe you have birds or turtles or an ant farm?

I’m a dog person- ask to see pictures of my bulldog, Mack!

If you weren’t selling wine at Bishop’s Cellar, what would you be doing?

It’s hard to say but probably something related to food; I love the idea of working in a test kitchen.

Thanksgiving Pairings


Sage & Sausage Stuffing

I have a few go-tos when it come to Thanksgiving but one that I absolutely love making due to its low effort-high reward quality would be Sage and Sausage Stuffing. The combination of your favourite local sandwich bread, sausage, and some frozen turkey stock from your local butcher makes this the perfect crowd pleaser- it even works on its own!

I pair this (and the rest of the spread) with something light, fruity, and super-easy drinking: Lapierre Raisin Gaulois. Beaujolais is an obvious choice for me always but especially around the holidays as its extremely food friendly and goes down easy, even if you’ve eaten too much.
