`Little winery that could' gets boost from a Ghostbuster
Today, we spotlight Ontario best buys. Our top value Ontario red is the Birchwood Estates Cab. Not many folks have heard of Birchwood, but winemaker Tom Green and his team, guided by tasting suggestions from actor and investor Dan Aykroyd, have put "the little winery that could" back on the proper wine path. Meanwhile, Cave Spring has revamped its labels, so all feature the image of a hawk (formerly just on its premium CSV range). The reason his riesling is so rich and tropical, says Tom Pennachetti, is mature, 15-year-old-plus vines. And Peninsula Ridge's wine guru, Jean-Pierre Colas, has nailed the popular Kiwi style with his latest sauvignon blanc. Zesty, juicy, with notes of intrigue.
