Just like George Clooney and your Pac Man arcade score, wine is one of the few things in life that seems to get better with age. Today’s WagJag from Gallucci Winery withstands the test of time:

The family behind Gallucci Winery share a passionate philosophy that can best be distilled down to a simple quote by Salvador Dali: “Great wine requires a mad man to grow the vine, a wise man to watch over it, a lucid poet to make it, and a lover to drink it.†This thoughtful approach permeates the grounds of their picturesque winery which, despite the almost Tuscan flourishes, is located just a half-hour drive outside of Toronto. Visit any upcoming weekend with this voucher for a complete tour of the premises, where a guide teaches you about the history of the winery, the processes they use to concoct their acclaimed wines and the purpose of the various rooms and tools. At the end, guests are brought downstairs into the vintage area to sample four varietals and munch on a gourmet platter of cheeses. The second and fourth options allow you to nab an extra tasting of ice wine, noted for its distinct sweetness and lingering finish.
