Penny Coles Niagara Advance It was intended to be Winemakers on Ice. The wrap-up to the Niagara-on-the-Lake Icewine Festival will still conclude with the awarding of the first Icewine Cup, with roaring crowds cheering on their favourite winemakers as they battle for the coveted trophy. The tournament will go on, but because of warm weather and to the relief of some of the competitors, it will be ball hockey on dry land, the winemakers trading their skates for boots, says Andrea Kaiser, NOTL Icewine Festival chair. The tournament takes place Saturday, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Ravine Vineyards in St. Davids. A range of culinary delights will fuel the fans in stands erected for the event. See Page 14
