A chance encounter with a small winery owner was all that it took to set Christina and Andrew Brooks on a quest that would take ten years, see them travel across the world and back to Canada and push them to their limits as they worked to build a vineyard of their own.

Despite limited funds - and even more limited knowledge of farming and agriculture, the two determined twenty-somethings took the big leap and bought a "diamond in the rough," a faded grand dame of a house and a derelict farm, smack in the middle of Niagara wine country.

To Build A Vineyard is the story of the decade Christina and Andrew spent battling fire, goats, debt and doubt in order to build their vineyard and live their dream. It's a fascinating, funny and moving read that reveals the relentlessly rocky, but ultimately rewarding road that eventually lead to the creation of one of Canada's most exciting small-batch wineries, the award-winning Back 10 Cellars in Beamsville.
