For this episode, we welcome Paul and Daniel Speck of Henry of Pelham Estate Winery, one of the pioneering family-run wineries that helped shape modern Niagara. Alongside their brother Matthew, the Specks have carried forward the vision of their parents, transforming land first settled in 1794 into a vibrant estate rooted in both history and innovation.
Our discussion explores the family legacy, from their father's entrepreneurial spirit to their mother's influence as an educator, and how the brothers built resilience through free trade challenges, shifting markets, and changing climates. They share candid views on sustainability, innovation, and the balance between artistry and science in winemaking.
From the rise of Baco Noir as their defining variety to sparkling wines like Cuvée Catharine, this episode highlights the enduring story of family, land, and identity in Canadian wine.
