When LCBO Vintages magazine wanted to run a feature showcasing the labour of love involved in crafting local wine, they turned to five Brock graduates-turned winemakers to share their insights on the process.
Emma Garner (BSc, ’04), Thirty Bench Wine Makers; Shiraz Mottiar (BSc, ’00), Malivoire Wine Company; Rob Power (BSc ’00), Creekside Estate Winery; and Ilya Senchuk (BSc, ’03) and his wife Nadia Senchuk (MBA’07), Leaning Post, were all featured in the September edition of the publication. With the exception of Nadia, all of the featured winemakers are graduates of the Oenology and Viticulture program in Brock’s Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI).

At 8 a.m. on Monday Sept. 18, a new corridor will enable people to access Schmon Tower elevators from both sides of the Tower lobby.
After three months of taking basement or rooftop detours to reach elevators that would get them to the upper Tower floors, pedestrians will again be able to reach the lobby-level elevators directly from either side of the Tower.
They will also be able to fully traverse the Tower lobby, between the Matheson Learning Commons to the west and, to the east, the Thistle vestibule/Tim Horton’s kiosk area near Mackenzie Chown Complex. This will be available during hours when the James A. Gibson Library is open.
The lobby washrooms will remain out of service while the Brock LINC construction project continues.
WHAT: Meet the Science Peers Event – our science drop-in student staff looks forward to meeting you and sharing their “Brock story”, pathway and plans with you.
WHERE: TH 255
WHEN: Tuesday, September 19 from 7-8pm (stay for the hour or just stop by and say “Hi.”
NOTE: Snacks will be provided
