Book Description

1999
Canadian wineries have now proven in international competition that they can consistently rival the best wineries in the world. And Canadians are supporting them, buying more Canadian wine than ever before. Responding to the explosive growth in the number and range of Canadian wineries, Tony Aspler now updates his highly popular Vintage Canada, adding more than 40 new Canadian wineries and even more insights into this ever-burgeoning wine industry.

Praised by critics, peers and readers alike, Aspler shares his vast knowledge of Canadian viticulture in this his most comprehensive volume on the subject to date. With profiles Canadian wineries from one end of the country to the other, and tasting notes highlighting the best wine each produces, this book is an invaluable reference for all wine lovers. Vintage Canada sparkles with Aspler’s entertaining, easy to read style and his logical, quickly referenced organization of material.

One of Canada’s most widely read wine writers and perhaps our best known wine expert, Tony Aspler is editor of Winetidings magazine and long-time wine columnist for the Toronto Star. As a consultant and wine judge, he travels extensively to vineyards and wine fairs throughout the world. He is a member of the North American Advisory Board of the Institute of Masters of Wine and lives in Toronto.

2.0 out of 5 stars vintage without vintage note, September 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vintage Canada: The complete reference to Canadian wines (Paperback)
An inaccurate title as Tony Aspler did not give any note on particular vintage.
He did not respect us enough to give any clue on the particular taste of any cuvée.
Very poorly edited too. I was expected one page for each winery and why not some nice color pictures of Canada?
Most of accolade came for other book from this columnist. I know why as I just read a listing presented by Province. Research on the Webb would be much more rewarding.
