Tony Aspler was an original member of the OWL\u2019s board of directors and one of the most respected wine writers in Canada, with more than 50 years of experience covering the industry.<\/p>\n
He says there are many benefits to this repository and, thanks to the selection of wines already in the collection, the CWL\u2019s inventory is off to a great start.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo have a permanent library of back vintages of Canadian wines is not only a treasured archive but an invaluable educational tool for winemakers, historians and enthusiasts alike,\u201d he says. \u201cThis collection \u2014 which grows annually with each vintage \u2014 represents the finest efforts of the Canadian wine industry and is curated under ideal conditions at Brock University.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicholas Gizuk, Head Winemaker at Niagara-on-the-Lake\u2019s Inniskillin winery, agrees the CWL is an invaluable resource for the industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo have a place for wines to be properly stored and made available for private and public tastings and educational purposes is so important to our industry,\u201d he says. \u201cSometimes a great vintage will accidentally get sold out or they might get lost in a warehouse, but if they are put aside and kept separate in this library, it makes for unique opportunities down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
