Sharing a Glass with Mike(June 21, 2014) ... On my way to the airport (heading to Umbria, Italy) I stopped off at the Mike Weir Winery Grand Opening. Finally, Mike has himself a winery to call his own - this "winery" was beginning to seem like that family member that everyone has, you know the one: they never leave the house to find their own way in the world ... over the past decade this "winery" has been linked with Creekside and Chateau des Charmes - and I am sure there were others playing host to barrels and tanks along the way. But now Mike Weir has a new home, at the old EastDell location - and in truth its a beauty ... let's take a look - and if you're in the area, stop by and be impressed: All wines are new in the Stratus line-up and some were intriguing, especially when you think it was made at an Ontario winery with Ontario grown grapes ... it's amazing to see a winery taking this kind of risk and succeeding.
