As a Canadian Hotelier who has worked all over the world, it was incredibly gratifying to visit Checkmate. The commitment to quality was exemplary, and I am sure this winery will lead the way for Canadian Wines to finally get the recognition they deserve.

We did a Grand Master tasting, and John Schmidt, our host, was deeply knowledgeable about the winery, the vineyards, and the wines. It was refreshing to speak to someone with his depth of knowledge as I have found this to be a rarity. John is an outstanding ambassador for the region and the winey. I would highly recommend both the wines and a visit, but if you go, ask for John.

We were fortunate to visit Checkmate for a Grand Master tasting yesterday and the experience was absolutely world class! Our Ambassador, John Schmidt, was the consummate host - knowledgeable, charming, attentive, professional and full of great stories. Wines were delicious with a gorgeous view of the vineyards. As the daughter of hoteliers I grew up in the hospitality sector and have traveled to many wine regions in the world. Checkmate is one of the finest. Be sure to request John Schmidt as your wine aficianado... you'll be glad you did!
