John Szabo MS (Ontario) is joined by Treve Ring (BC), Brad Royale (Alberta) and Véronique Rivest (Québec) in a virtual debate about the various scientific and interpretive parameters of what it means to be cool. Featuring and leveraging, the sensational Chardonnays of Chablis, New Zealand and Ontario, each panelist was asked to defend, one of the classic parameters of cool climates. Including, but not limited to, latitude, altitude, length of growing season, average temperatures, soil colour and temperature, and sunlight hours. Watch how the debate answers which is most important and how cool climate should really be defined.
