The Canadian Wine Awards are organized by Wine Access Magazine. 2002 was the second
year for these Awards with over 600 wines entered from across Canada - a 20% increase from 2001.
The Ontario Wine Society tasting of these gold medal wines last year was our most
popular event to date so make sure you book early as this will be a sell-out event.
David Lawrason, Editor in Chief, Canadian Wines, Wine Access magazine, will be leading our tasting
again this year. The tasting will be held at the Tasting Rooms Restaurant in First Canadian Place
on the north side of King Street, between Bay & York. Parking available underground.
Please bring your parking stub for validation.
