Maelstrom to supply wine for 2017 IPM The executive committee of the 2017 International Plowing Match (IPM) and Rural Expo is happy to announce that Maelstrom Winery will be the official supplier of wine at the IPM and its related events. Maelstrom Winery, and the Landsborough Family, were the first to plant grapevines in Huron County. Battling the Huron County climate, that is very diverse from the traditional grape growing regions in Ontario that are Niagara Region and Prince Edward County, Maelstrom has achieved VQA, a strict designation to achieve. The two wines selected for IPM 2017 include their white wine 2015 VQA Vidal, silver medal winner at the 2017 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, and their red 2016 VQA Tempest. Maelstrom Winery is located at 78925 Sanctuary Line, just off Hwy. 8 between Seaforth and Clinton. It's open seven days a week 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. offering the opportunity to drop by to taste and purchase. "IPM 2017 is about showcasing the people and community Huron County is home to," says Jacquie Bishop, Chair of IPM 2017. "We are proud to have Maelstrom represented at IPM 2017 because their passion and innovation is a representation of the many families in Huron County."
