The Creation of Marquette Grand Reserve

A Winemaker’s Video: For anyone curious about the steps and processes to make award-winning wine, please see my video attached. I highlight all the steps and techniques used to maximize the potential of our multi-international gold medal winning “Marquette” red wine. “To be a wine critic or sommelier is like being a car aficionado. Car aficionados know a lot about cars. They will impress you with their vast knowledge of wines, regions, styles, history, etc. To be a winemaker is very different. We’re The Ford Motor Company. We’re the ones who make the cars. To be a good winemaker you need a strong background in chemistry. You are half-chemist, half-chef.” - Sandor Johnson, Vintner/Winemaker Potter Settlement Artisan Wines Inc. In 2007, our winery Potter Settlement Artisan Wines Inc. pioneered a little beauty to Canada - a brand new grape my friend Peter Hemstad and his team in the United States created called “Marquette.” Over the years, we’ve come a long way learning how to make amazing wine with it. See how we did it in my video here… I present to you: “The Marquette Grand Reserve.”
