| Wayne Gretzky is the latest Canadian celebrity to break into the wine business and while he readily admits he is a wine novice he certainly knows how to assemble a great team. For the Great One, it’s all about supporting his charitable foundation but for winemakers Rob Power and Craig McDonald it’s all about crafting excellent wines like this unusual Shiraz Icewine. Rich and delicious, it’s full of ripe red berries, candied citrus, honey and spice notes. A great one indeed. |
