And I think most people don't handpick anymore.

I think, you know, we did that in school at Niagara College for the experience.

But I don't think that's something that...

That's not, it's not required for ice wine.

that I was interested in.

Having already been brewing for close to three years, Niagara College wasn't really at all the right fit because that's much more of a let's go from no experience to ready to start type of program.

So I needed something that was more of a you're already a brewer, let's get a very intense technical education to advance your career rather than start it.

So the three big options were Siebel in Chicago, The Royal Institute in Edinburgh and VLV.

Our gardening expert, Paul Zamet, was one of the judges.

Got to spend a little time in the garden and also get ready for the start of the school semester.

But we're certainly switching gears in the garden right now, for sure.

Did the school, is school back at the, at Niagara College this week or was it last week? Yes.

No, we started this week.

Now, to give you a little bit of Birdman lore, once upon a time, I used to be a resident advisor.

Not here at the University of Guelph, but... at Niagara College once upon a time.

And part of my duties as a resident advisor was try to encourage people to join group activities on the floor.

And while that met with somewhat limited success, because let's admit, sometimes RAs are lame.

Whether it's veggies, fruits or flowers, no problem is too big for Paul Zamet.

This summer has once again been filled with headlines about extreme weather events.

And there's been a push to make communities more resilient, including what's growing in our own backyards.

Bring it on.
