From a young age, I have been fascinated with the winemaking process and the ability to experiment and create memorable tastes. I began making wine in high school and formalized my passion by studying winemaking and viticulture at Niagara College followed by LVWO at Weinsberg in Germany.

Growing up on our family vineyard in Niagara, I grew passionate about the idea to design, finance, and build my own winery with my brother Greg. We explored regions across the globe and chose Niagara-on-the-Lake for the potential we saw in its soil.

I absorbed Niagara viticulture and developed a winemaking process that celebrated the region and its grapes. I used the Niagara grape to combine the best of two worlds, old-world winemaking traditions and new world innovation and created something original to put our stamp on the region.

At Between The Lines, I apply what I’ve learned of various global winemaking styles to our processes. I’m always looking for new ways to innovate with our products, such as pairing new winemaking styles with regional varietals.

I’ve also introduced new vines to produce different wines as we did with our popular Lemberger Reserve. Throughout this adventure, quality and drinkability have remained the essence of what we do.
