Ilya and Nadia Senchuk – owners of Leaning Post Winery revealed to our host, Andrea Morris, that the dream of owning a winery actually started as pillow talk, then expanded to numbers on a napkin and eventually led to a search for the right property. After losing three bids for vineyards, they decided to rent a house with some vines on the property, which eventually became Leaning Post. Their passion for wine is evident in this episode when Nadia becomes emotional while speaking about showcasing their wines to a journalist. Their goal as winery owner is to be a warm and welcoming place to showcase what the Niagara region has to offer, with a focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but also expanding to other varietals. If you're not a Chardonnay fan, Nadia says "challenge accepted" and she will help you to see the beauty in this wine. This episode is full of great quotes like "Chardonnay is the pizza of wine", and is brimming over with passion and love for wine. You'll definitely want to make the trip to the "edge of glory" to experience their wines after listening to his episode!
