Praise for John Schreiner and his writing:
“So much has happened in the world of Canadian wine in the last ten years and there is no Canadian writer better equipped to bring this exciting story to Canadians and the world at large than John Schreiner.”
– Malcolm Anderson, Montreal Gazette
“There is no one more knowledgeable about Canadian wines than John Schreiner. Yet, his palate has tasted all the best the world has to offer. What is even better is that he writes about what he has tasted and seen with clarity, originality and passion, so when John talks or writes about Canadian wines, people should listen with care.”
– David E. Bond, former chairman of the British Columbia Wine Institute
“John Schreiner is one of Canada’s most experienced and respected wine writers. His passion for wine and the people who grow and make it reflects in his penmanship. His articles and books always make for fascinating, informative reading.”
– Harry McWatters, president of Sumac Ridge Estate Winery
“I know of no one better than John Schreiner to inform and educate us about Canadian wines based on his many years and extensive research of Canadian wines.”
– Donald Ziraldo, co-founder of Inniskillin Wines Inc.
John Schreiner will be in Toronto June 23 to 26 promoting The Wines of Canada with an appearance at the Summerhill LCBO on Friday June 24 and a book-signing at Jackson Triggs Winery in Niagara on June 25. He will be traveling to Winnipeg on Monday June 27 for an event at McNally Robinson Booksellers.
The Wines of Canada, published by Mitchell Beazley of London under its Classic Wine Library series, is John Schreiner’s ninth book on wines since his first in 1984,
The World of Canadian Wine. All of his books chronicle the remarkable emergence of a fine wine industry in Canada during that period. He also has documented Canada’s eminence in Icewine with his 2001 book,
Icewine: The Complete Story, which covers Icewine globally and is the world’s first thorough book on the wine.
