Donald Ziraldo
Donald J.P. Ziraldo is a Canadian winemaker and businessman, and a recipient of the Order of Canada. He has often been hailed as one of the most important figures in Canadian Wine History.〔Aspler, Tony, ("Kings of Ice", December 26, 2007 )〕 He has been credited with starting the first winery in Canada since Prohibition. He and his partner/winemaker, Karl Kaiser, were the founders of Inniskillin Winery in Niagara, Canada.〔(Ice wine kings - Ontario )〕〔(),〕
In the spring of 1974 Ziraldo was determined to start a winery after he and Karl Kaiser, an Austrian-born wine-maker who had immigrated to Canada a few years earlier, found the wines in Ontario to be "undrinkable".〔Bramble, Linda, Niagara's Wine Visionaries, "Donald Ziraldo's Zap", 2009〕 Ziraldo got the OK to obtain a winery license from Major-General George Kitching, who was the chairman of the Liquor Licensing Board of Ontario. Along with Kaiser, they worked together for 30 years to establish Inniskillin and put Canadian wines, which were at the time, virtually unknown, on the world wine map.〔Aspler, Tony, Vintage Canada, 1983, pg.26〕 Their most well known accomplishment was winning the coveted the Grand Prix d'Honneur at Vinexpo, France in 1989 for the Inniskillin Vidal icewine. Ziraldo would be the man to create an internationally recognized Canadian wine category with icewine.〔Johnson, Hugh, Wine:A Life Uncorked, pg. 353.〕 Today, Canada is one of the world's largest producers of icewine and sells a significant quantity to the Asian markets, largely due to the efforts of Ziraldo's vigilant marketing prowess over the past 30 years.〔〔Wine Visionaries of Niagara, Bramble, Linda, Lorimer, 2009.〕
==History==
While tasting Ontario wines in the early 1970s, Ziraldo and Kaiser discovered very little wine existed in the premium market segment in Canada.〔 They seized the opportunity and set out to break new ground producing premium varietal wines from premium grapes grown in the Niagara Peninsula. In order to succeed, Ziraldo and Kaiser knew their future in the wine business was dependent on using the Vitis vinifera grapes, the family of grapes used to produce the fine wines in the established wine regions of the world. When sourcing these limited grapes became a challenge in the early 70's, Ziraldo and planted vinifera grapes which included Riesling, Chardonnay and Gamay and formed the quality base for Kaiser to work with.〔(Canadian wines, Donald Ziraldo of Inniskillin Winery, interview on StarChefs )〕 Kaiser and Ziraldo's first attempts to make icewine failed miserably due to a flock of hungry starlings devouring the grapes.〔Black, John, E and Roy, Kayo J., Niagara Birds, 2010, pgs 97-101.〕 Afterwards, they would cover the grapes with netting and use bird bangers to keep the starlings away from the tempting frozen grapes on the vines.
