Hillebrand Double Vertical Tasting At the Tasting Rooms Restaurant, First Canadian Place (North side of King Street, between Bay and York>
|
J.L. Groux has been the senior winemaker at Hillebrand Estates for 15 years and was the O.W.S. Winemaker of the Year in 1998. He now is responsible for over fifty different wines each year.
Until recent years, Ontario wineries had not been building libraries of past vintages in sufficient quantities to provide for special tasting events. Therefore, we are fortunate to have purchased enough of two of their top wines for 100 members and guests. From 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 we have Chardonnay "Lakeshore" and Trius Red. J.L. will be unable to lead us through the tasting. However, David Laroque, Wine Educator for the Estate Wine Group of which includes Hillebrand will take us through the tasting explaining how conditions in each year affected the grapes and, thus, the wines' maturity.
A tasting plate of delectable morsels will follow and may contain:
- Canadian Smoked Salmon with Dijon Mayonnaise on Dark Rye
- Tuna Sushi Roll with Wasabi
- Spinach, Feta & Lemon in Phyllo
- Beef Satay with Creamed Horseradish
- Smoked Ham, Swiss Cheese and Sundried Tomato in Puff Pastry
- Roast Duck Crackling & Sundried Cherries with Orange Glaze
