Winemaker Derek Barnett from Lailey Vineyard at Savour Stratford 2013.

Winemaker Derek Barnett from Lailey Vineyard at Savour Stratford 2013.

As part of a short miniseries we decided to grab the opportunity to visit some of our Good Food Fighter wineries in Niagara just as the 2013 harvest began. Although all of the wineries welcomed us with open arms, it’s a really tricky time of year for each and every Winemaker, and so we seriously thank all of the people involved for indulging us.

Obviously attempting to see everyone over the course of one day’s travel was impossible, but next year we plan to do exactly the same in Prince Edward County.

In front of the camera for our sixth session is the straight-shooting Winemaker Derek Barnett from Niagara’s Lailey Vineyard, who just happened to be pouring his wines at this year’s Savour Stratford Perth County Culinary Festival.
