It's nice to have wineries close to home.  We had one open up around the
  corner from us. They planted a couple years ago and started selling
their products last year. I haven't dropped in to try them out yet.They
only have a  couple acres of grapes so far, at least on that property. I
was surprised to see them planting a vineyard there.  Niagara is a major
grape growing region but most of the vineyards are on the north side,
along and near the escarpment and around Niagara on the Lake.  The soils
are completely different. I am on the back  side of the escarpment and
it is sandy loam, not shale and limestone.

Do you have to take the wine bottles all the way back there to recycle?
In Ontario we pay a a deposit on all alcohol containers including the
bladders in boxed wines. We take then back to the Beer Store to collect
the deposits.

 That doesn't sound like something a red state would do. Red states
like to destroy the environment.

Master, you're just jealous because you don't live on the back side of an escarpment!   Much better sniffing there I bet.
