Having spent two grueling days judging a record number (1045) wines, alongside 30+ dedicated international judges who hail from the sea-to-shining-seas of Canada and across the U.S.A., this truly was a grand competition on a national scale for Canada and shows off the great wines that we are capable of making across this great land from both the orchard and the vine. These judges go back to their respect home being able to sing the praises of what is coming out of Canada’s wine regions.
I have some early winners to announce to you … The Best of Show categories – Ontario took 2, B.C. took 2 and 1 went to PEI.
