Summerhill Grapes
Reserve Merlot $ C30 .
Forward and inviting , easy black cherry and mild tobacco from this warmer than normal site — and may be warmed by the impressive concert amphitheater .
Keep an eye out while touring this wine region ; there are new wineries waiting to be discovered . There may or may not be an Ogopogo ( Loch Ness Monster ’ s cousin ) lurking in the lake but there is famous Canadian hospitality at every turn .
Happily , the hospitality extends to the sheer quality of the wines made .

Shipping note : most wineries will ship to the U . S . - sometimes even for free with minimum purchase . However , a weekend trip back to the U . S . with wine is tagged with a $ 0.23 / btl . duty — or $ 2.76 a case ! Bring a few back and impress your wine-loving friends with your savoir-faire .
