Finding a Pinotage in Toronto

[winecollector]

Maybe someone else can either back me up or shoot me down on this one. I am not sure, but I think that the South African Pinotage grape is basicaly some sort of clone of the Pinot Noir grape. Try checking one of those duty free shops along the border if you have not already for some other South African wines. My wife brought me back some South African wine (1992 Fleur du Cap) from there her last trip to Canada.

I hear Oregon is supposed to make some pretty good Pinot Noir. However, I personally have not tasted any of them that can compare to a 1991 Middelvei Pinotage (S.A.) I have stashed away. Perhaps bad selection on my part or just lack of experience? I have some 1994 Henry Estate Pinot Noir from Oregon I'll open someday- perhaps that will change my opinion.
