From Tiffany Mayer's "Eating Niagara" column for the St. Catharines Standard listing her favourite Niagara food and farming Instagrammers, entitled "Photo-sharing is feast for the eyes":

@stratuswines: This Niagara-on-the-Lake winery nails it, as far as corporate Instagram feeds go. It’s not just a sales pitch to buy wine, but a series of thoughtful photos that pay tribute to the people and processes that go into making tipple and running a winery."

@winestains @StratusWines it's a great feed. It's how corporate feeds should be.

From Facebook, after the inaugural International Cool Climate Chardonnay Celebration. I handled the social media for this benchmark event in 2011 and, proudly, every year since.

Elena was my client for five years in her position as Director of Customer Experience at Southbrook Vineyards. We worked closely together on Southbrook's rebranding, and I found in her one of the great collaborations of my career. Elena is capable and talented in her multi-facets, skillfully mindful of the big picture while attending to hundreds of small beautiful details. She has a wealth of knowledge and intelligence about the wine industry and is also extremely passionate about best practices and new ideas in marketing and brand experience. I know I will work with her again, and often."

A totally dependable, incredibly hard working, very focussed individual. I have no hesitation in recommending Elena for any position that requires diligence, commitment and competence.”
