This week sees Jamie Drummond travel to the very limits of grape cultivation in an attempt to discover just what it is that drives men to make wine in such marginal growing regions.

In this two part 100th edition Drummond visits Carter’s Vineyards in Essex, England and Vankleek Vineyard in Eastern Ontario.
