Workers in the Vineyard

These vineyard workers were completed covered including their faces. Photographed at Maleta Winery.

My fellow blogger, photoshopphlake, posted a photo of the roses at Maleta Winery. I liked the photo so much that I had to take my own. The roses are just starting to fade when the shot was taken.

1989 Inniskillin Cabernet

While visiting Inniskillin on Saturday, we were lucky enough to try the 1989 Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc. Still a really good wine considering it's almost 22 years old!

Artist in the Vineyard

A number of artists were at Peller Estates Winery today painting very scenes in the vineyards.

Calamus Pinot Gris

I was asked to take a photo of the 2010 Pinot Gris for a magazine article but I was only given a few hours before the publishing deadline! Here's the result.

Classic Car Insignia - Pontiac Fiero

Another Classic

Classic Corvett Emblem

Photographed at a Classic Car Show in Vineland. Originally, Chevrolet wanted to have the American Flag on the emblem's right but it is illegal to use the flag on any product apparently. They had to rush around to find a design before an upcoming car show and because the name Chevrolet is French they thought the fleur-de-lis would be fitting. This decision was made 50 years ago.

Reflections on a Firebird

This classic car's fender was so shiny I got the reflection of another car in the shot!

Model A Ford c 1931

Two Chairs and a Vineyard

Photographed at the Good Earth Cooking School and Winery in Beamsville.

Full Moon

Returning from Guelph last night I noticed that the moon was full. I stopped on the side of the highway and took a hand-held shot. It's times like this when I wished I had a more powerful lens or my tripod in the car.

Memories of Pepper

Rest in Peace, Pepper

We lost our oldest cat, Pepper, yesterday. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. Despite her blindness, she managed quite well and was always a happy cat and friendly to everyone.

Ty Fielding

While participating in "Graze the Bench", we had time to spend with the Fielding family and I was able to shoot this photo of Ty.

Red Wine Barrel Bung

Sometimes the outside of the bung hole gets stained with red wine because the wine maker is constantly taking samples. A number of wineries will paint this section of the barrel to make it look more presentable. Taken at Vineland Estates Winery.

Johnny & Ron

My friend, Ron, with his hockey idol, NHL goalie, Johnny Bower.

Poppy Near Flat Rock Cellars

While attending the Flat Rock Open House on Saturday evening, I noticed a field of poppies on the adjoining property. Not sure if I was trespassing but I did manage to take a few photos including this one.

Terry Rawlinko

Local musician, Terry Rawlinko, plays acoustic guitar and sings at the "Graze the Bench" event at Hidden Bench on Sunday. Terry is the son of Ontario Wine Society member, Wally Rawlinko.

Hockey Great, Johhny Bower

Johnny Bower was on hand to show his own wine - Rosewood Estates "Johnny Bower" Merlot. He was kind enough to sign bottles for his fans.

Beyond Budburst

This was taken at the Budburst Celebration at Flat Rock Cellars in Nadja's Vineyard.

Oyster "Boy"?

I don't eat oysters but I wanted to take this photo of someone from Oyster Boy Oysters Restaurant shucking oysters at the Tawse Winery open house.

Guitar Man

There was a band at the Vineland Estates open house last week. There was a blinding spotlight on the group making photos almost impossible. I had to settle for this close-up but even that has a reflection from the spotlight.

Banned in Ontario

This Crystal Head Vodka cannot be sold in Ontario. It is, however, available at some duty free shops. Very strange!
