The aroma in our cellar right now is a heady cocktail of vanilla-funk from our barrels and fuzzy peach candy from the 350 kilograms of stone fruit we turn over by hand daily to evenly ripen.

Fruit that develops too early to make it into the final blend of ๐˜—๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜š๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ finds itself in the grateful hands of our staff, friends and family. With juice dribbling down their chins, their contented smiles as they bite into one of these peaches tell us we have an amazing crop to work with this year, despite historically low yields.

Plus, the barrels for this yearโ€™s vintage are some of our favourites, using more of a decoction brewing method than we have in the past to give the beer a textural mouthfeel and complex funk.

We are fortunate to have any peaches at all this year after floods devastated the harvest in Lincoln, Ontario, where we source our peaches from Cherry Lane (Cherrylane).

Now the fruit and beer rest together to ferment into the late fall or early winter, to enjoy next year as a reminder of how great things grow in Ontario in spite of mother natureโ€™s other plans.

Weโ€™re excited to add two new wines onto our seasonal list from our friends at The Farm (The Farm Wines) on Niagaraโ€™s Twenty Mile Bench.

The Farmโ€™s 2024 Chardonnay has notes of peach, crisp apple, lemon and stone fruit, while the 2023 Pinot Noir has firm, structured tannins with notes of dark cherry and earthy undertones.

Both are available by the glass and bottle to pair with our summer menu. Plus, every Wednesday, enjoy half-priced wines by the glass from 4-7 pm.
