Colin Stanners<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Colin Stanners was a chemist, and moved to California where he started drinking wine. He moved back to Canada and wanted to make his own, so he thought the County would be a good place. He started planting in 2005, and then carried on, and now has 8 acres of vines.<\/p>\n
