Winestains Posted on Monday, May 11, 2015 at 5:45PM Well, I'm certainly blushing and it's because of my black and white photography, so I think the old gag fits! I was surprised and happy to learn Saturday night that a series of my photos won the Grand Prize in the second annual Walk STC YOUR Downtown Photo Exhibit.

... but it sure was nice to win! The International Cool Climate Chardonnay Celebration (i4c) was the winner in the Event category at the first-ever Niagara Social Media Awards. I'm honoured to say that I've been responsible for the social media for i4c since our founding event in 2011.
The awards, organized by the Social Media Club Niagara, were presented at the monthly meeting on February 24, 2015 at Fresco's in St. Catharines. Judges Trevor Twining, Ruth Unrau and Vivian Kinnaird awarded i4c for "demonstrating how a company, group or organization has used social media to increase ticket sales, attendance, or awareness for their event." We've done all three!
Our colleagues in the Event category included the Niagara Wine Festival, Pelham Summerfest and the GWEn Conference.
The winners in the other categories for inaugural awards were:
Non-profit: Community Care, St. Catharines & Thorold
Business: El Gastronomo Vagabundo
Personal Branding: Tiffany Mayer - Eating Niagara
Agency: Arnoldi:McPherson Digital Communications
Student: Anneka Bosse
Community Builder: Cathy Berkhout-Bosse
Winestains Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at 8:39PM A little something that I put together for one of my clients - Stratus Vineyards in Niagara-on-the-Lake. I call it "LOVE Letters."
All the photos were taken indoors and out at the winery. Used in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and customer emails.
;)
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.
Winestains Posted on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 at 10:38PM It was my husband's birthday today so a week or so ago, I asked him what he'd like me to make for his special dinner. He picked a couple of recipes from our well-used copy of Anna & Michael Olson's "Cook at Home." From the "Romance" (!) chapter, Stan chose Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Madeira Pan Juices and Butternut Squash Purée. Both very simple, elegant and delicious recipes.
