Tie one on, this Father's Day, with the perfect Pinot Noir for pops
Four dads. Four wines. Four ties… Le Clos Jordanne makes gift giving easy by partnering with Harry Rosen, pairing Pinot preference with necktie style
TORONTO, May 22, 2012 /CNW/ - "My Dad is the hardest guy to shop for," is the common phrase that circulates this time of year. To solve your shopping dilemma - because really, shopping should never be a dilemma - Niagara's only ultra-premium Burgundian style winery, Le Clos Jordanne, joins forces with luxury retailer Harry Rosen to help you choose a Pinot Noir for Dad based on his personal style.
"Everything about Le Clos Jordanne is luxurious," said Franco Timpano, Director of Marketing, Le Clos Jordanne. "From the limited quantities and imported 'Old World' French vines to the handpicked and hand sorted grapes, this Pinot Noir really makes the ideal gift for someone special."
Four Dads, Four Ties, Four Wines
If fashion is an extension of your personality, then is wine an extension of your fashion sense? We think so. Like one's individual style, Le Clos Jordanne's four different Pinot Noirs each come from a unique terroir; even though they are all Pinot Noir, each are distinctly different. Just like Dads.
Who's your Daddy?
Creative Dad: Talon Ridge Pinot Noir + Wacky Print Tie
This Pinot Noir is young, bold, and intense which pairs perfectly with a Dad who is in the creative industry and who loves Mad Men - especially Don Draper's suits. Its lively and smooth intensity, with notes of dark berries and dried fruits, is perfect for a Dad who frequents the museum and loves a good foreign film.

Gadget Dad: La Petite Colline Pinot Noir + The Bowtie
The La Petite Colline is medium bodied and structured, ideal for a digital strategist type who has his homepage set to Mashable and is constantly juggling a Smartphone, tablet and e-reader. Fruity and floral with notes of red ruby currants, morello cherries, and a hint of mint and pepper, this Pinot is for a Dad who sends you funny YouTube clips and can't be beat at Words with Friends.

Sporty Dad: Claystone Terrace Pinot Noir + The Cravat
