The weekend of June 9 and 10 marks one of Canada’s  friendliest and delicious wine and food festivals: Graze the Bench. Jamie and I caught up with Rosewood Estate’s Krystina Roman for a glass of Riesling at Marben, where she told us all about this very neighbourly event: Good Food Fighters  Rosewood, Hidden Bench and their neighbours Thirty Bench, Fielding, Pensinsula Ridge, Oganized Crime and Angel’s Gate on the Beamsville Bench will host tastings and food stations from top Niagara restaurants so guests can literally stroll down the road visiting each winery. Go to grazethebench.com to learn more and watch the video below, in which Krystina tells me how GFR viewers can win free tickets.
