Megalomaniac an ….
Megalomaniac an Iconic Winery. Owned by John Howards, it began as a retirement project to help raise funds for kids. John Howards is not owner of
this Winery but also owner of Winery in Bordeaux’s Region.With He is a firm believer that with the right viticulture practices, implemented by one of Niagara’s great vineyard managers, Duarte Oliveira, the essence of Bordeaux can be achieved in Niagara John will definitely change winemaking in Canada.
Megalomaniac Winery boasts 110 acres of vineyards with panoramic vistas of the escarpment and Lake Ontario. Vines are imported from France directly and the wine is aged in French Oak to guarantee the best of flavours. The bottles feature a series of Faceless executives wearing the bowler hat with an unique title.
We have visited Megalomaniac Winery and been seduced by the authentique scenery. the tasting fees start from 5$ for 4 glasses which is very cheap.
Wine tasting notes : deep, and rich red color reminds of French Bordeaux red Wine and we Fan. Nice spice flavours within medium/full bodied
Great person, Great winery, Great wine!
