ST. CATHARINES, ON, Nov. 27, 2012 /CNW/ -
| WHAT: | The 2012 grape harvest is one of the best in the 65-year history of the province's grape industry with a stellar wine vintage to follow. Join 2012 Grape King, Curtis Fielding, of Fielding Estate Winery, as he reports on this outstanding, high-valued Ontario harvest of 65,800 tonnes (which equals one half the weight of the CN Tower), compared to the very poor grape production of their European counterparts. Ontario's grape and wine industry contributes over $529 million annually in economic benefits to the provincial economy. |
| To celebrate the record harvest, the Grape King will present LCBO store staff with a bushel of grapes and lead a wine tasting of some the best Ontario wines following the announcement. | |
