St Catharines is less than a half-hour from Niagara Falls, and thus is near to my hometown of Ithaca New York, so I know what the climate is like, at least: hot and humid in the summer, bitterly cold and dry in the winter!
I am a grapevine physiologist by training, at Cornell University and Oregon State University, and viticulture is one of my main interests, both academically and personally! I hope, with this blog, to keep a bit of a record of my travels while on this study leave, jot down notes about viticulture, wines, ideas, life and more (I think that about covers it!).
