"Creating my own wine from Niagara allows me to contribute to the growing reputation of wines from a region that's close to my heart and to my home town. Each wine has been created in the service of my foundation and I am very proud of the fact that every bottle you enjoy, we're able to help kids in communities across Canada." - WG
