The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.

Canada is the second largest country in the world but its wine production is relatively small, and the wines aren’t widely available. However, quite a lot of you guys are from Canada and I want to learn more about this country. My 1985 Edition of the world Atlas of Wine states that there were 9.000 ha of vineyards in Canada at the beginning of the 80s and stated that most people found it difficult to take the massives Sherries and Pop Wines that were made in Canada serious. But Hugh had hope for the future of Candian Wine. Similar to Germany Canada has benefited from climate change. As temperatures have risen the quality of the wine in the country has improved.
However, the wine growing regions are to the south of the country close to the sea, where temperatures are less severe in winter. Canada’s wine growing regions are comprised of 31,001 acres (12,565 hectares) and 616 wineries. primary wine-growing regions are the Niagara Peninsula in southern Ontario and the Okanagan Valley in southern British Columbia.
British Columbia on the west coast north of Washington state has 4.486 hectares of vineyards and 284 wineries spread out across 9 designated Viticultural Areas or DVAs. Ontario – north of Chicago and New York 17,000 acres (6,900 Hectares) and 185 wineries in 3 DVAs – Niagara Peninsula is probably the most famous.
Quebec and Nova Scotia are also notable production areas but, they mainly use cold hardy hybrid grape varieties such as Frontenac Noir, Blanc and Gris, Vidal, Seyval Blanc L’Acadie, Muscat, Seyval Blanc, and my favorite: Lucy Kuhlman. Since the early 1990s Canada has been internationally known for the consistent quality of its Icewine. Produced in every Canadian wine producing region, Ontario produces over 90% of this delicious and quintessentially Canadian product which is made from grapes that have frozen on the vine.
