"Even after 17 vintages as a winemaker, I still consider myself to be a “student” of wine, as the wines, the vineyards that bear the fruit and the art of winemaking are ever evolving.
My beliefs on winemaking and life are very similar in that balance is essential and there must be passion in both. In winemaking, I feel that the product of the passion, that which the art of winemaking must preserve, is typicity and authenticity."
Dwight Sick.
"The Similkameen is exciting as it is the 'Wild West' of winemaking with its unique microclimate and terroir. I intend to build upon the legacy of wines that George has created. We will continue to combine Seven Stones Winery’s superior vineyard site, along with using sustainable vineyard practices, and by adding careful but minimal winemaking principles, so we can produce world-class wines that are true to their terroir and that are unmistakably identifiable as being from nowhere else in the world but from the Similkameen Valley."
