These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-06-11,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 4, Round 7 - Literature - Books by the Numbers
Not the Book of Numbers in the Bible, but popular literature.
We give a description, you give the title of the book -- and all
answers contain at least one cardinal or ordinal number, which
you must get right.
1. This 1953 novel presents a future America where books are
outlawed, and firemen have a radically different job.
2. This 2011 novel follows Wade Watts on his search for an "Easter
egg" in a virtual reality game, the discovery of which will lead
him to inherit a fortune in a world wracked by an energy crisis.
3. This 1949 novella follows Holly Martins, who arrives in Vienna to
take up a new job, only to discover that his employer is
now dead.
4. The plot for this 1915 novel revolves around an expat Scot, newly
returned to London from Africa, who is drawn into an anarchist
plot.
5. The final book of an infamous trilogy, the movie version of
this 2012 novel was released in February of 2018.
6. The first of 18 novels in this charming series, this 1998 novel
introduces Precious Ramotswe of Botswana.
7. Published in 1961, this novel traces the story of the fictional
256th Squadron, based on the island of Pianosa.
8. Published in 1969, this novel follows the World War II
exploits of Billy Pilgrim, and is said to be based on the
author's experiences.
9. In this novel, originally serialized in France between 1869 and
1870, ships sail out of New York harbor in search of a mysterious
sea monster.
10. This 1960 book features Jay and Kay, and the amazing creatures
they have as pets and friends.
* Game 4, Round 8 - Canadiana Geography - Ontario Wineries
Baby Duck, anyone? Relax, just kidding. Ontario boasts four
distinct established wine regions -- Niagara, Escarpment / Twenty
Valley, Lake Erie / North Shore, and Prince Edward County -- as
well as several "emerging" regions. A major hurdle for wineries
is an LCBO order, so all of these wineries have at least one wine
available at the LCBO. To give you a "hand", we have a hand-out
with a reference list of some of Ontario wineries. All answers
can be found on the handout:
| Angels Gate Winery | Maelstrom Winery
| Broken Stone | Magnotta Winery
| Burning Kiln | Malivoire Wine Company
| Caroline Cellars | Marynissen Estates
| Cave Spring Cellars | Megalomaniac
| Chateau des Charmes | Norman Hardie
| Closson Chase | Organized Crime Winery
| Colio Estates | Reif Estates
| Cooper's Hawk Vineyards | Rosehall Run
| Flat Rock Cellars | Southbrook Vineyards
| Henry of Pelham | Stratus
| Huff Estates | Strewn
| Inniskillin | Sugarbush
| Kacaba Vineyard | Tawse Winery
| Konzelman Estate | Thirty Bench
| Lakeview Wine | Waupoos Estates
| Legends Estate Winery
And answers do not repeat.
1. This Niagara winery features a state of the art LEED facility.
They grow 10 varieties of red and 6 of white, on 62 acres.
Signature wines include Wildass, Tollgate, and Kabang.
It's the very modern building on the right just outside of
Niagara-on-the-Lake. The winemaker is J.-L. Giroux.
2. A sprawling former fruit cannery right outside Niagara-on-the-
Lake was transformed in 1997 into a winery and culinary center
that offers visitors in-depth tasting experiences, classes
at the Wine Country Cooking School, and casual fine dining at
their restaurant OLiV. Labels include Terroir and Sandy Block,
all made by Marc Bradshaw.
3. Innovation has been key to this winery's success since
the founder, the eponymous retired special-effects producer,
purchased prime vineyard acreage on the Beamsville Bench in 1995.
This first-in-Ontario gravity-flow winery is an elaborately
recycled Quonset hut built in 1998. Winemaker Shiraz Mottiar
produces popular wines such as Guilty Men and Ladybug Rose.
4. This Escarpment winery opened its doors to the unique underground
facility in 2009; the aboveground facility opened in 2014.
Their first vintage sold out in 90 days, so they decided to
stick with it. The founder, John Howard, was discouraged by
friends from naming the winery after himself, so this name was
a fitting alternative. Signature wines include Pompous Red,
Narcissist Riesling, and Pink Slip Rose.
5. In an up-and-coming region, this winery sits on the fields
of a repurposed tobacco farm in Norfolk County. They have re-
conditioned the farm building to pay homage to that heritage, and
have quickly begun producing world-class wines as they bottled
their first wines in 2011 and already have 3 LCBO listings.
Signature wines include Strip Room, Harvest Party Red, and
Horse and Boat Riesling.
6. Located just north of Toronto, this winery is listed under
"emerging regions", even though it's been producing wine for
over 25 years. They boast an opulent tasting room and shop,
featuring many of the Group of Seven artworks which have inspired
many of their labels. Their signature wine is "Sparkling Ice",
the first sparkling ice-wine.
7. In Essex County, on the shores of Lake Erie, this winery boasts
seven LCBO listings, including signature wines Talon and Touche.
They made headines this spring when winemaker Adam Graham
introduced their new "orange wine", made with white grapes left
in their skin.
8. This Lower Escarpment family owned winery has been producing
organic and biodynamic wines since 2001, and has been voted
Canada's Winery of the Year in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2016.
They recently launched a new wine developed in conjunction with
Blue Rodeo frontman Jim Cuddy, which bears his name.
9. Located on the shores of Lake Ontario in Wellington, Prince
Edward County, this winery opened its doors in 2000, on a
farm that has been a farm for, well, a long time. The winery
is named after the historic United Empire Loyalist hamlet on
the south perimeter of the property. Signature wines include
Finisher Liqueux, Liberated Chardonnay, and Pixie Sparkle.
10. As famous for its pedigree as its pinot, this Prince Edward
County winery's signature wines are prominently featured on
the wine lists of the best restaurants, although only three
current LCBO listings. Its owners include actress Sonia Smits
as well as philanthropist and media mogul Michael MacMillan
(who formerly owned Alliance Films).
