podcast· 59:00· S8E82E82 - Drea's Wine · Andrea Kaiser, Canada
In this episode of Read Between the Wines, Pierre sits down with Andrea Kaiser , winemaker and daughter of the late Karl J. Kaiser, co-founder of Inniskillin and one of the two pioneers who built modern Canadian winemaking with vinifera grapes. Andrea grew up among the vines in Niagara, watching her father measure sugars with a refractometer, tasting early batches, and debating acidity, sweetness and oak at the family table. But it wasn't until Inniskillin's 50th anniversary and her father's celebration of life that she truly understood the scale of his impact — and decided to continue the legacy in her own way with Drea's Wine Co . Pierre and Andrea explore her path from the family's restaurant to Reif Estate Winery, and finally to launching her own small-batch label focused on Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Dornfelder . She explains why Niagara on the Lake's micro climate — the lake, the Niagara River, the escarpment — allows her to grow varieties that surprise many cool-climat
