Most of the people I know don’t like Baco – it always seems to be too something to people and as one person once said to me “It’s foxy but not in a good way.” But when David Churchill of the LCBO told me to go back to Willow Springs and try this homegrown Baco I couldn’t resist … and neither should you. This one seems to lack the things people don’t like in their wine, that is prominently found in most Bacos … instead, this one is smooth, approachable, and easy-drinking. It’s also light in colour – comparable to a Beaujolais or light-style Pinot in the glass … and, if you like your wines on the cooler side, this wine is also very chillable. A delicious little Baco that’s only $9.95 – so taking some home won’t break the bank. And here’s the kicker … when I said homegrown I mean right there at the winery – in Stouffville, Ontario (25 minutes north of Toronto) – now that shows guts and determination. Kudos to Willow Springs.
