Someone I consider knowledgeable told me that the rule is that the wine must contain 5% Ontario grapes and the rest can be from outside the country. His understanding is that most Ontario wines are 90%-95% foreign grapes. Really like your site and all the info and narrative - fun to read! But I have to strongly disagree about Village Harvest Bakery and their sloppily made and flavorless bread. RE: Ontario Wine

I have known them personally for years and they are great people with real passion for sustainability. They recently built a straw-bale home that is heated with solar power, with a big wood-fired cook stove in the kitchen. They are my idols :) And their veggies, eggs and meats are delicious, to boot.
