Please The Palate July 2026 Newsletter
I can’t believe another year has passed, but I’m ready to turn the page. 2025 was a challenging year on many levels.

Inside The Royal Hotel: Prince Edward County’s most stylish stay
The Royal Hotel blends design, award-winning dining, and hospitality into one of Prince Edward County’s most compelling stays Stepping into The Royal Hotel feels like walking onto a film set; perhaps somewhere between The White Lotus and Oppenheimer. The atmosphere takes hold the moment you pass through its unmarked Main Street entrance in small town Picton, Ontario (within Prince Edward County), unfolding into a space that balances resort-like ease with carefully considered design. Every corner reveals something new, from vintage-chic bars that transition seamlessly into tasting soirées, to a lounge anchored by a fireplace, plush sofas, and even a guitar, all inviting the kind of evening that lingers into the late night.

Parma Food Valley: Where Italy’s culinary soul comes to life
From Parmigiano Reggiano and prosciutto to Lambrusco and balsamic vinegar, a four-day journey through Emilia-Romagna reveals why this corner of Italy remains one of the world’s great gastronomic destinations There are places you visit for the sights, and then there are places you visit for the flavours. Italy’s Parma Food Valley—set within the fertile heart of Emilia-Romagna—belongs firmly in the latter category. Over the four days that I spent weaving through the elegant streets of Parma, the culinary powerhouse of Modena, and the quieter charm of Colorno and other nearby towns, one thing became abundantly clear: here, food is not simply consumed—it is lived.

Summer is here and with it comes the 14th anniversary of Please The Palate. I am proud to be celebrating another year of business, especially amidst the challenges the wine industry is facing. And we are all feeling it. In the more than two decades that I have worked in the wine industry, I have seen challenges and changes, but nothing has been like this. It seems like the wine industry is being hit on every side, all at once. Costs are up, consumption is down. There is the threat of tariffs and an anti-alcohol sentiment. I have felt these challenges over the past two years but continue to try to push through with an optimistic attitude.
