Calamus Estate Winery is quite unique, as it is the only winery in the Niagara Bench area that
has a telescope on site. Plus, it’s also proud to be a democratic winery, where their wine club
members are a part of the process of picking wines. Our host, Andrea Morris, speaks with Peter
Van Helsdingen, the owner of the winery, regarding the many events they host featuring
astronomy and wine, and about his approach to winemaking. They share found memories of
their fathers while tasting a wonderful double barreled Cabernet Sauvignon. During the course
of the episode, Peter also coined one of Andrea’s new favourite slogans: life is too short to have
a glass of wine you don’t prefer.
