Impressive Results
 
We are pleased to announce a great showing at two recent wine competitions.  Our 2007 Cabernet Franc won a Silver Medal and our 2008 Pinot Gris won a Bronze.  This prestigious wine competition had  499 wines entered from over 50 different wineries.  Medals at any level in this competition is a great accomplishment.
 
 At the All Canadian Wine Championships the wines produced by our talented team earned 3 Gold Medals and a Bronze.  The Gold Medal winners are:  2008 Unoaked Chardonnay, 2008 Calamus White and 2007 Calamus Red (now sold out but soon to be replaced by our 2007 Reserve Red).  Our 2008 Pinot Gris won a Bronze.
 
 A heartfelt thank you and congratulations to our winemakers Arthur Harder, and Steve Byfield - great recognition for your hard work and commitment.
