Wine Tasting and Related Upcoming Events in Toronto

Passionate Pinot     Tuesday, November 25, 2008

The Heartbreak Grape – highly susceptible to disease – Pinot Noir has earned the reputation for being a difficult grape to grow. Jancis Robinson calls Pinot “a minx of a vine” whereas Andre Tchelistcheff (the “dean of American winemakers”) stated that “God made Cabernet Sauvignon whereas the devil made Pinot Noir.” It’s not all bad though...Pinot Noir has been called “sex in a glass”, “a seductive yet fickle mistress” and “the most romantic of wines”. Pinot Noir is highly influenced by the terroir that surrounds it which means that depending on where your Pinot comes from, it could taste completely different than your neighbour’s Pinot. They say variety is the spice of life so come and join the Ontario Wine Society explore the wide variety of Pinot Noir that is available through a series of New World wine regions.

We are pleased to announce that Norm Hardie of Norman Hardie Wines will be our guide through this exciting tasting. We’ll be spending most of our tour in Ontario but we will have little side trips to the Sonoma Coast of California, the Walker Bay region of South Africa and the Marlborough region of New Zealand.
