Haywire

haywire [hey-wahyuhr]

1. things that are out of control  
2. erratic or crazy people 
3. a winery in Summerland, BC 
       

Haywire refers to wire once used for baling hay, which tended to tangle in a chaotic way.

Apt then, that Haywire wines are the result of Christine Coletta and Steve Lornie’s transition from city slickers to farmers to winery owners.

Of course, they cannot do it alone. To shape their wine style, the couple is joined by the talented Michael Bartier, working with David Scholefield. The team also considers themselves fortunate to be working with consulting winemaker Alberto Antonini from Italy.

It’s one thing to enjoy the fruits of one’s labour but another to actually grow that fruit. It’s been a long journey from a wintry morning in 2005 in Summerland when Chriss and Steve slogged through the snow to tour an old orchard for sale...
