Mark on the Run

Mark spotted on C.C.T.V in dubious neighbourhoods in Toronto – large Hawaiian shirt a dead giveaway.

Meetings with Ontario distributor, the charming Malcolm Cocks of Glen Ward Wines and the New World Wines division of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. Successful meeting, and Mark more or less vertical entire time.

Also avoided the horizontal with local wine writer Michael Vaughan. (Photo: Mark Field, left, with Michael Vaughan)

Result – Picnic Pinot Noir and Riesling available in L.C.B.O’s Vintages stores early in 2008 – join queues now – take sleeping bag – Canada can be coolish. Also expect Two Paddocks in the best Toronto Restaurants.
