The Ontario Wine Society Presents
A CCOVI Library Tasting - Cabernet/Merlot Blends Tasting Rooms Restaurant at First Canadian Place North Side of King Street, between Bay & York	Members $30.00 Non Members $40.00 Monday, November 24, 2003 6:30pm

The Canadian Wine Library at Brock University is once again offering the Ontario Wine Society an unprecedented tasting opportunity from its collection. The Canadian Wine Library is an incorporated permanent, revolving collection of Ontario's finest VQA wines judged ageable by the directors of the Library, to be used by the industry for promotional, research & educational purposes. The Library wines have been acquired & cellared by Brock University's Cool Climate Oenology & Viticulture Institute (CCOVI). Last year the OWS had a CCOVI tasting of Riesling. This year we will see how various Cabernet/Merlot wines ('Bordeaux blends') age, and how stronger and weaker vintages mature in the bottle. We are fortunate to have 3 different wineries over 3 different years to compare. The wines to be tasted are: 1995 - Cabernet Merlot Cave Spring Cellars 1995 - Cabernet Merlot Lakeview Cellars 1995 - Cabernet Merlot Henry of Pelham Winery 1998 - Cabernet Merlot Cave Spring Cellars 1998 - Cabernet Merlot Lakeview Cellars 1998 - Cabernet Merlot Henry of Pelham Winery 1999 - Cabernet Cave Spring Cellars 1999 - Meritage Lakeview Cellars 1999 - Cabernet Merlot Henry of Pelham Winery The tasting will be conducted by Claudius Fehr, a Canadian Wine Library Director. Claudius is purchasing manager for VINTAGES. He was one of the first Canadians to receive the Diploma from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust. As usual, the Tasting Rooms will offer a fabulous plate of appetizers to enjoy with the wines: 4-yr. old Canadian Cheddar on apple - Niagara preserve ~~ Smoked duck, caramelized onion, apple cider & orange reduction on baguette ~~ Mini lamb pie with root vegetables & mint ~~ Tortilla wrap, grilled vegetables, goat cheese & roasted garlic ~~ Sesame chicken with roasted red pepper aioli.
