Ontario vs. B.C. with Tony Aspler At the Ontario Club, Commerce Court South, 5th Floor. (South East Corner King & Bay Streets) Ontario Club dress code: Casual, but no jeans or running shoes please.
|
Once again we welcome Tony Aspler as our tour guide for our November foray through British Columbia’s and Ontario's vineyards. Tony has chosen 10 wines, 5 from BC and 5 from Ontario, which exemplify the best of the Canadian winemakers' craft. The fun will be trying to match the wines to their viticulture areas.
On October 28, Tony's much anticipated 288 page 'Wine Atlas of Canada' will be launched and we have requested that a supply be made available for purchase on the night of our tasting. OWS members have been offered a $10 discount and Tony will be available to autograph your book. The special OWS price will be $50 (cash or cheque only). The original photography for the book is by Stephen Elphick, Canada's top wine photographer, and we have prevailed upon Stephen to join us on the 27th. Hopefully he will bring a camera! In addition, Willi Klinger, the new CEO of The Austrian Wine Marketing Board, will introduce himself and has offered to celebrate his new position by bringing Austrian wines to be served during our pre-tasting reception.
