Adam Delorme – Winemaker
August 1, 2010 The Grange of Prince Edward is very pleased to announce the appointment of Adam Delorme to the position of winemaker.
As a certified sommelier and trained winemaker, Adam Delorme has been perfecting his craft since the age of eleven when he discovered that an alkaline and an acid don’t mix or don’t add milk to wine. As a graduate of Algonquin College and part time student of Washington State University, Adam has been able to enjoy every aspect of wine from growing to producing to marketing and sales, even a teaching position at St. Lawrence college where he introduced the regions first wine appreciation program and designed the curriculum.
Adam has worked with various County Wineries for 7 years in every capacity and has been with the Grange for 3 years. As a working winemaker with a passion for farming, he splits his time between vineyard and cellar, therefore having an acute awareness of the fruit to be harvested. With an impeccable palette and conscientious work ethic, Adam is able to guide the wines into the style of wine the Grange has become known and rewarded for.
Adam is a very dynamic employee with the ability to contribute to every department of our operation. We look forward to many more years of success with Adam at The Grange as his ambition and motivation will help maintain the image and standard we have set as one of the winery pioneers of Prince Edward County.
Supporting the families of those who serve
Ontario winery steps forward in support of Military Families
Year long campaign will provide much needed funding to Ontario Military Family Resource Centres
July 1, 2010. Hillier, ON – Today we announced today that The Grange will begin a year long campaign in support of Ontario Military Family Resource Centres. In recognition of the extraordinary contributions made by our Canadian Forces and the important work the Military Family Resource Centres provide we have decided to donate 50¢ from every bottle of Trumpour’s Mill wine sold in LCBO stores across Ontario and $1.00 from each bottle sold in restaurants across the province.
The Military Family Resource Centres (MFRCs) were established on every base, across Canada in 1992.
These non-profit organizations were given the mandate to support military families in their local areas.
Today, within the ten centres in Ontario, families receive support with their Relocation, Education, Employment, Deployment, Parenting, Youth activity, Childcare and Personal Development needs.
The MFRCs are the grassroots, supporting military families as they support our men and women of the Canadian Forces.
The Invisible Ribbon has become the symbol for military families, recognizing their vital contributions to our strong Canadian Military.
It is our hope that this program will make a real difference. We will be sharing our progress throughout the campaign on our website through this blog and Facebook page as well as providing in the minute reports through Twitter.
May Update from Caroline
The fans have been running for 2 nights now and am I starting to get a little unfocused It all seems a little desperate the fans whirling like army helicopters fading in and out as they spin on their towers…… It was amazing really on the drive home from the train station at 12:30 tonight crossing the bridge it was four degrees and as I came down the hill into the big swamp it dropped 3 degrees …. at first I thought it was just a cold spot but by the time I reached mountainview and started down highway 2 toward Hillier it dropped another degree ….. the thermometer on my dash reading 0 and flashing a warning about ice….. crossing over the township line into Hillier the temperature dropped another degree flashing -1 as I turned onto Closson Road. I knew the fans were running because my youngest son Quinton had called earlier to tell me and i had had the task of waking Mike for the second night in a row,,,,,,,,, There was a little rise in temperature at the corner of Chase and Closson the thermometer reading 0 briefly before dipping again to -1. I rolled down my window to see if i could here the fans hoping they were running but at the same time hoping there was something wrong with the readings from my car…….. But I heard them whirring frantically in the night coming down the driveway of the house the reading rose to +1 and I headed in to change for what I knew was going to be a very long night….. It always amazes me how much more slowly the hours pass at night ……..
