There are a lot more medal winners than those listed in your list.
Your list should include them all or none.
Pondview won 3 gold medals, including a double gold in best of category for our 2009 Cab Franc, yet not a single mention.

Hi Joseph,
Congratulations on winning several awards at the ACWC, especially the double Gold for your 2009 Cab Franc.
I am sorry about the confusion in my listing of the awards. Perhaps instead of saying “Southwest Ontario” I should have titled the post “Lost of GOLD for Lake Erie North shore and Pelee Island Wineries.
The Niagara wines that I have tasted have been very good and I am sure wines from the Niagara region took home many awards at the All Canadian Wine Championships.
My focus is on wines from LENS and Pelee Island, and that’s why I list only them.
Cheers!
Gary Killops
