Michael Pinkus Ontario Icons:
1) Cave Spring (Innovators in Riesling, Visionaries as early adopters of the Beamsville Bench)
2) Flat Rock Cellars (Pioneers in gravity flow wineries here in Ontario)
3) Vineland (the first winery to add an optical sorter to their production line)
4) Inniskillin (a no-brainer for their Icewines)
5) Stratus (like Tawse, a new player, but if we’re talking about the people behind the wines then certainly JL Groux would qualify)
6) Featherstone (first to use sheep in the vineyard)
7) Marynissen (first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in Niagara)
