Gold with the 2006 Discovery Collection
The new Dan Aykroyd Wines set the bar highest when his 2005 Vidal
Signature Series Vidal Icewine won Wine of the Year and a
Gold Medal at the 2008 Ontario Wine Awards. Dan's
Icewine debuted to a select crowd in Moscow at the Canadian
Embassy. See the Passport Magazine article
of the launch of the Dan Aykroyd's wine in Russia
here.
Now with the release of the four wines in the 2006 Dan
Aykroyd Discovery Series, Dan repeats with Gold for the
2006 Sauvignon Blanc and Bronze with the 2006

2007 Canadian Icewine
Harvest: “Excellent Quality, Average Quantity” -
Perfect!
“The 2007 Icewine will be
the one that everybody looks for”. Charlie Pillitteri at
Pillitteri Winery looks over the now empty vineyards
with a sense of satisfaction. The harvest started
on the night January 3 when the temperature plunged to
-11 degrees Celsius for the third night in a row,
crystallizing the body of the grape and bringing the
sweetness up to about 40 brix, well above the minimum
required to earn the title “Canadian Icewine”. <more>

website and is a great one for Icewine and Caviar
lovers!
