We’re diving into craftsmanship — in the glass and on the plate.

First, we welcome Geneviève Charest, master blender at Sortilège, to talk about the art of blending Canadian whisky with Québec maple syrup. What does it actually take to balance spirit, sweetness, texture, and tradition? We’ll get into the science — and the magic — behind one of Québec’s most iconic bottles.

Then, we head to Portugal with Teresa Araújo from Casa Ferreirinha, one of the Douro’s most historic estates. We’ll explore the legacy behind the winery and why Portuguese wines continue to impress with their freshness, energy, and sense of place.

And finally, Ari Schor of Restaurant Beba joins us to share his culinary journey — from his roots to building one of Montreal’s most thoughtful and tradition-driven kitchens.

Plus — of course — my affordable Wines of the Week, because great wine doesn’t have to break the bank.
