Norman Hardie Wine Review

By / Wine + Drinks / May 31st, 2013 / 2

Today, Michael Pinkus’ Ontario Wine Review is featuring Norman Hardie 2011 County Pinot Noir!

Norman Hardie began his career simply as a wine lover. Following his heart, he travelled to France and studied at the University of Dijon and under the tutelage of Burgundy’s best winemakers. His love of wine continued to grow as we became a sommelier. Finally, Norman took the step he’d been working toward for so long: he became a winemaker, learning from the best in California, Oregon, South Africa and New Zealand, eventually settling in Ontario’s Prince Edward County.
