#12 - Story with Scott McGregor and Rob Power - Lakeview Wine Co. and Creekside Estate Winery
from The Viticulture Edge · host Adam Toda and Jamie Paquin
In this episode we interview Scott McGregor, winemaker at Lakeview Wine Co., and Rob Power, winemaker at Creekside Estate Winery. Based in Niagara, Ontario, Lakeview Wine Co. and Creekside Estate Winery are two wineries under the same ownership but of different scale and different varietal focus. These varietal differences are influenced by Niagara’s diverse growing conditions facilitated by glacial tilled soils, the Great Lakes, and the Niagara escarpment. Everything from Riesling and Chardonnay, grapes with refreshing elegance, to bolder grapes such as Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon can be found in Niagara. As veterans of the Niagara wine scene we discuss with Scott and Rob how the industry and Niagara has changed over the past 30 years and the how the stories we tell ourselves influence our perception of “good”. Small-batch isn’t necessarily always better, what Niagara was 30 years ago is not what it is today, and Canada isn’t igloos and kayaks.In this episode we discussed different wines from both producers, including the Lakeview Wine Co. Fume Blanc and the Creekside Winery Blanc de Blanc traditional method sparkling. We’d love for you to enjoy these and other wines from these producers.
