Jackson-Triggs Proprietors' Selection Pinot Grigio
Extra dry, and not the Reserve. The LCBO lists this Pinot Grigio at 12.1 percent alcohol and 4 grams of sugar per litre.
Jackson-Triggs makes the bottle in Ontario. The tasting note says pale lemon, with cantaloupe, ginger and spice. Arterra Wines Canada owns the brand. The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan bought that company in 2016.
This is not a VQA bottle. The brand shop marks Reserve and Grand Reserve as VQA and leaves Proprietors' Selection unmarked. The LCBO page says Ontario. It does not name the grape countries.
The 750 ml size is the one in the widest Ontario stores. A 1.5 litre and a 4 litre box carry the same wine. This page is only the 750 ml.

Score breakdown (50% evidenced, medium confidence)
“In 2016, the Canadian branch of Constellation Brands was acquired by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, and Arterra Wines Canada was born.”
This score is our own read of publicly available evidence, not a regulatory finding. It is not a CFIA or Competition Bureau origin determination, and it is not the same as the "Product of Canada" or "Made in Canada" claims a manufacturer prints on a label.
