The last day of the Ontario Wine Awards Judging is a more light-hearted affair then the previous two days, which seems to be a lot more serious. The last day takes place in the catacomb-like confines of the Fine Wine Reserve in downtown Toronto and it's the sweeties that we are all putting to our collective noses and onto our palates. Sure icewine is serious stuff, but once all 60+ wines are poured and those tropical-honey smells waft through the room, there is just a wave of good feelings that go through the place.
This year's Ontario Wine Awards will be held June 10, 2011 at Queen's Landing in Niagara on the Lake ... for details of the event visit: http://www.ontariowineawards.ca/
What follows are a few pictures, before, during and after the tasting:
