Stéphane Dion mingled with the largest crowd yet of this campaign.

It happened in St. Catharines, Ont., in a riding the Conservatives won by just 246 votes in the last election.

Dion was visiting the Niagara Grape and Wine Festival.

In some cases the wine glasses got in the way of the handshakes.

About 8,000 people usually attend the hugely popular festival and about 2,000 attend the opening day parade.
