The Art of Winemaking Then and Now

David Topolnisky

Fenelon Falls Ontario

About the design

A few years ago I found these wild Grapes, photographed them but wasn't sure how to use the images, then this challenge presented itself. Modern winemaking is an ancient craft on steroids. From its humble beginnings, with wild Grapes and hybridization it is now possible to enjoy endless varieties suitable to countless tastes and cultures. Notably Canadian Wines are among the best in the World. These Wild Grapes are part of the reason we have the the Wine we enjoy today!

About the artist

I've been photographing something or someone for over 60 years. For the early days it was a great hobby, then came Weddings, Sports and Pet Photography. Recently over the last few years, My wife and I have enjoyed the switch to Fine Art Photography as it gets us out with Nature away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This year we participated in the, "Made in Kawartha Lakes" event, in Lindsay and the, "Fenelon Falls Art Festival". We are really just getting started on this new adventure.
