My Favourite Wine: Cyril Leeder
Cyril Leeder, president of Senators Sports & Entertainment, is a fan of Ontario wines and Italian reds
One individual wine would be hard to pinpoint, but I like Ontario wine. I collect a lot of Ontario wines and Italian reds. I guess that’s about as narrow as I could get it. If I had to say one wine, I would say a Gabbiano Chianti, simply because that’s a place where I’ve visited and stayed there and we have a few bottles and we drink them regularly.
