For this episode, we welcome Rob Power, long-time winemaker at Creekside Estate Winery in Jordan, Ontario. Known for its motto "Serious wines from an irreverent bunch," Creekside has built a reputation for innovation, especially with Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah.

Rob reflects on two decades of vintages, the origins of the Broken Press Syrah, and why experimentation defines Creekside's approach. He shares how his path from Toronto's Select Bistro to Brock University's first Cool Climate Oenology class shaped his relaxed yet thoughtful style. We also discuss the challenges of Niagara's climate, the balance between innovation and consistency, and how humour and humility sustain winemaking. This is a candid conversation with one of Canada's most respected voices, reminding us that wine should be serious in the glass but fun in the making.
