Eveningside Vineyards

In the mid 1990's, I began my fascination with wine. It is a beverage from biblical times with the first vineyards established by the Romans and some would argue that the Gauls began wine making long before the Romans. There is no beverage that offers so many flavors and aromas in a single glass of fine wine. So much flavors with so few calories. No other beverage compares.
My thirst for wine led me to the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario where a thriving wine industry exists. On one of our trips, we stopped at the overlook of the Niagara River and gazed at the U.S. side of the border. I began to wonder, at that time, why a wine industry, let alone a winery, does not exist in Niagara county. I began to investigate climate and soil conditions and determined that there was no reason why wine, vinifera wine–the fine wines of the world, could not be grown in Niagara county between the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario.
I have always loved to garden and a vineyard is actually a large garden that needs to be kept in balance and harmony. Soon I began reading books, magazines, subscribing to industry newsletters and attending wine conferences. After a year of convincing my wife of the endless possibilities that exist in creating a winery, my search for an appropriate piece of land to plant a vineyard began.
