    St. Catharines Standard, Aug 12, 2012 I read the article in the St. Catharines Standard On Friday Aug 10 and would like to provide you the following information that may be of value to understanding the meeting reported “on Monday Aug 13 that Pillitteri Estates Winery is hosting a round table discussion on allowing wineries to discuss issues related to the LCBO with MPP Agriculture critic, Ernie Hardeman”. Approximately 20 invited participants will be allotted 2-3 minutes each to express their opinions and it is to be a closed meeting. Pillitteri Estates agreed to host the meeting as we believe that providing information to all elected officials regarding the positive economic benefits of local VQA wines is invaluable for VQA wine growth. Pillitteri Estates Winery July 4 toured and hosted Minister of Agriculture Ted McMeekin and a group of senior OMAFRA policy advisors for a 3 hour visit to discuss a wide range of issues including greater market access for VQA wines. I believe we all need to work together to obtain growth for VQA wines within Ontario and within the LCBO system. This is needed even more so with a minority government. The importance of growing VQA wines, according to the KPMG study, is that VQA wines provide over $12.56 a litre value add to the economy, Value add is beyond taxation benefits. In a previous study by KPMG the amount for imports is $.67. Going local is an economic benefit to the economy. Blended wines have a value add proportionate to their Ontario content. For this meeting Pillitteri Estates spokesperson and participant will be myself, Jamie Slingerland, and I hope that the amount of time for each participant will be sufficient to educate Mr.
