Oh hello there. Our oaked Chardo is back on the shelf (and online). This one we got a little crazy with and tried some carbonic techniques. A fruit bomb, burning fuse included (read: struck match aroma). We’re ok if no one buys it so we can keep it for ourselves #chardonnay #wildferment #oaked #carbonicmaceration #biggerisbetter #bigheadwines #winecountryontario #justintimeforchristmas

#Repost @the.twisted.pig with @get_repost Introducing Wine Wednesdays! Every week we will feature a wine from our list, pair it with a dish from our menu, and offer it to you, our friends, to enjoy at home as a Date Night Feature of the week.... Our first wine is EASILY the most popular wine on our list. The 2017 Big Red from @bigheadwines is a big juicy blend of 50% Cab Franc, 30% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 10% Dornfelder, offering a nose of blackberry, blueberry, smoked meat, sage, and pipe tobacco. It is dry on the palate with a complementing acidity that makes Big Red a very versatile and food-friendly wine. Though it pairs well with any dish from our menu, either pasta or pizza, from beef tenderloin to lamb, we thought the best way to showcase our most popular vino is to marry it with our most popular dish: Twisted Gnocchi 2.0. Home-made tender potato gnocchi + red wine + tomato braised beef short rib ragu + shaved pecorino cheese. Pair these two together and why would you even want to leave the house. Enjoy our inaugural Date Night Feature of two orders of Twisted Gnocchi 2.0, and a bottle of Big Head Red for $80 ($108 value). Call us directly or order online! Enjoy the Twisted Pig @ Home #TTPatHome #TTPDateNight #TTPatHome

Our 2019 Chardonnay Select has some of #3!

Bottling our 2019 Chard Select this week. But, if you can’t wait, we still have these magnums of our 2018. Just sayin’ #livelongandprosper #chardonnay #oaked #wildferment #magnum #biggerisbetter #winecountryontario #bigheadwines #niagara #notl

#Repost @treadwellresto with @get_repost Two mind-blowing examples of Chenin Blanc. Both with amazing complexity and depth, both delicious and powerful.

I’ve never seen fruit this clean, it’s crazy! @kvinoteiro_slim and Andrzej loading the tanks with gorgeously healthy Cabernet Franc. No sorting or destemming necessary this year #winecountryontario #grapeporn #harvest2020 #cabernetfranc #carbonicmaceration #bigheadwines #biggerisbetter

This hair-flipper is Darci ( @darcis_wildlife ) She has been with us for a year in the tasting room and now taken on the role of Retail Leader. When she isn’t frantically preparing for an Instagram post, she is making sure all of the retail cogs run efficiently and we are lucky to have her #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #ourteamrocks #youcanthaveher #bigheadwines #winecountryontario #peoplefirst #lucky

November pack! If you like monster wines, this one’s for you #bigheadwines #biggerisbetter #appassimento #winecountryontario #supportlocal #niagara #giftideas

Andrzej meeting London for the first time #loveatfirstsight

Another GoPro of bottling our 2019 RAW Riesling. Only part missing was the waxing. Let us know what else you want to see! #bottlingday #harvest2020 #RAW #riesling #winecountryontario #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #bigheadwines #hunterbottling

World.....meet London. She’s part of our take your pup to work program today. She’s a 10 week German Shepherd/Lab cross. She likes munching on leaves and napping in the vineyard. She’ll be here being cute every once in a while #winerydogs #puppiesofinstagram #bigheadwines #germanshepherd #blacklab #sideprofile

Instagram Live Tasting this Friday at 6pm Jakub will be going through everything going on at the winery as well as tasting through: 2017 Biggest Red 2017 Merlot Select... 2017 Cabernet Franc Select 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Select Not to be missed! #bigheadwines #biggerisbetter #tasting #winetasting #virtualtasting #wineporn #winecountryontario #appassimento

Trying out the new GoPro (found a headband attachment that fits)! In the spirit of education, and since we can’t have as many guests as we’d like, we will be bringing parts of the winery experience to you. Any and all feedback will be appreciated. Let us know what you’d like to see.... This one shows you how to wax a 1.5L and 3L bottle of our Biggest Red. We keep the wax around 120-130F and the other bucket just has cold water to firm up the wax. We spin the bottles so gravity doesn’t take its toll on the hot liquid. I’ll be talking through the next videos, but wanted to keep this one silent to focus on the sweet sound of flies zapping in the background. #sharingiscaring #greatwinelearning #ihateflies #harvest2020 #handmodel #biggerisbetter #winecountryontario #wemissyouall #bigheadwines

This fruit is giving me goosebumps. -Andrzej Might be the best vintage we’ve seen for Niagara grapes. Any guesses as to what these beauties are? I’ll give you some hints: the vineyard is 26 years old and this rot gets us very excited.... #noblerot #botrytis #wineporn #grapeporn #harvest2020 #winecountryontario #bigheadwines

This is our assistant winemaker, Sam (@kvinoteiro_slim ). Sam has been kicking butt with us since before the beginning. When he’s not making awesome wine, he’s dressing like a rockstar and putting the rest of us to shame. His casual Friday is next level #ourpeoplerock #winecountryontario #bigheadwines #biggerisbetter #harvest2020
