Rob & Erin Get A Mug Shot In The Star

Winemaker Rob Power and Assistant Winemaker Erin Harvey got some glamour time at our Queenston Road Vineyard on the St. David’s Bench last week, standing amidst a block of Pinot Noir in the glorious sunshine for a Toronto Star spread on the Ontario wine industry.

Vineyard Profile: Creekside Estate Vineyard

Immediately bordering the winery buildings on Fourth Avenue and providing a very dramatic (and very tasty) view as you come down the driveway, is the Creekside Estate Vineyard. We like to think of it as the quietly consistent, patient older sibling to our Queenston Road Vineyard on the St. David’s Bench. With about 13 acres under vine, the Creekside site does its thing, year in and year out, with little showboating and few demands. It is, to be honest, a little taken for granted. We expect the fruit to be good — it always has been– so we very rarely worry, fuss, or fret.
