Ontario Wine Review
Cabernet Franc Challenge - Ice Wine & Late Harvest Tasting Challenge
It’s time to be Franc … or at least pick the best. Over the course of five nights in November and into December, convene at The Fine Wine Reserve in downtown Toronto where we'll taste over 40 different wines from 34 Ontario wineries. The wines will be broken down into 3 categories: Cabernet Franc, Franc Blends, and Franc Reserves. Each night, we’ll taste between 7 and 10 different wines from that night’s category; tasting will be done blind (you’ll know the category but not the producer). Then, each taster will decide, based on a scale from 1 to 10, the following criteria: 1) do you like it; 2) would you buy it and 3) is it good value. There will also be a brief talk about Cabernet Franc, it's history and future in Ontario, all hosted by the Grape Guy himself, Michael Pinkus. Afterward we’ll mix and mingle for coffee and dessert … featuring some special bottles of wine from area fruit wineries, Balderson cheese, some sweet treats and coffees from Raymond Emes & Co. There will also be door prizes from The Original Grape Shirt Company.

Different wines in each category is poured each night. Come to one or come to them all, we’d love to have your opinion. This is not a reviewer’s challenge, it is a people's challenge - your votes and feedback will determine Ontario's Best Cabernet Franc.
