On the Road with the Grape Guy
Report from - The All Canadian Wine Championships Judging, Day 2 ... May 17, 2011

Another early day. We arrived at The Other Place Catering venue by 9AM ... the schedule showed my panel was tasting Sauvignon Blancs, a small handful of Semillons, Rosés, Bordeaux-style blends and a few others. The tasting went as expected, but lunch proved to be a bit of a surprise ... usually day two is quiche day, but weren't we all pleasantly surprised when we were presented with salmon and mini potato latkes with a delicious Bailey's creme brulee for dessert. After lunch we went through the major medal round judging: sweet wine, fruit wine, red wine and white, which are to be announced at dinner in the evening at the same Lebanese place we enjoyed last year: Mazaar.
I can't reveal names of wineries but I can tell you ... (to find out what I can say and see pics of dinner, click here)
