Finding a Pinotage in Toronto

You have back-up not shoot down on this one!

PINOTAGE:
Cultivar widely grown and successful in South Africa since its release in 1925. Also currently grown in California (USA), Canada and Zimbabwe. Derived from the crossing of Pinot Noir x Cinsaut. Used to make a popular, hearty red wine that ages well - (and often requires it). Reportedly grown in some quantity on New Zealand's North Island where it is used to produce flavorsome, early-maturing wines that are considerably less concentrated/complex than South African versions.

I got the above information from Strat's Place. www.stratsplace.com

A great place to visit when one wants some wine information!
