At one of the first Brock CCOVI “Expert’s Tastings” I had heard of, a fellow named Orest Poluch won a VQA Promoter Award for his dedication to promoting Ontario wine. One of the events he runs is called “Pinot for the People”, and he is running another one in less than two weeks. If you live in the Guelph region, this is a must attend event. This year he has 10 Ontario producers, and 2 from BC.

Here’s the details (from Orest):

The Pinot for the People is held in our LCBO store, 615 Scottsdale Drive, Guelph.
Time: Noon to 4pm
Date: Saturday Sept 19th
Price: $10 for 4 sample ticket (Monies collected go to the United Way of Guelph).
