How Henry of Pelham's Baco got its start

From Toronto Life:

A Niagara matriarch's whim establishes a Baco Noir dynasty

Aaaaagh the `04!! We have a tasting coming up here in town with one of the Specks right here. Thanks Paul B.

Bob, I just WISH I had known about that dinner mentioned in the article and the 9-year Baco vertical!!! Damn - I should have been at that.

I would love to make a trip down to Henry of Pelham's sometime and ask for a private tour of the vineyard where they have their oldest Baco vines. Those are legendary vines for Ontario, because they represent a part of our still young, albeit undisputable, history with this grape and big reds in our region.

You should hook up with Bruce Hayes and have a day out!!

Maybe we could get Howie and Ed interested in joining along - that would make for a nice day.

Hey! I'm trying to get you to come with me to the Finger Lakes to meet up with Dan Smothergill and buy some Vignoles juice!

Sounds neat ... I'll likely be going to get my grapes on the 23rd however (Concords), but if you go later than that, I may just join along.

I'll be in Ontario wine country Saturday 23-Wed 27 September staying somewher around St Catharines. And it is the Niagara Vintage Festival then.
