The original vineyard for this Beamsville Bench winery was planted in
1983 with Chardonnay, Gamay Noir and Vidal Blanc, and since then
other grape varieties have been added to the Steve Kocsis family farm.
Sustainable agriculture practices and thoughtful aging processes speak
to a traditional focus. Terroir-driven wines made by Steve Kocsis are
crafted from 30-year-old vines.

ORGANIZED CRIME WINERY (THE)
Situated on a picturesque parcel of land on the acclaimed Beamsville
Bench, Organized Crime's vista of gently rolling vineyards with the
sparkling sapphire of Lake Ontario in the distance is a sight to behold.
But don't come just for the view; established in 2006, this tiny
producer specializes in small-batch, hand-crafted premium wines made
from 100% estate-grown grapes. Their distinctive and elegant
Bordeaux blends, hauntingly floral and complex Pinot Noir and zesty
mineral-driven Riesling are just a few of the distinctive wines made
by talented winemaker Greg Yemen.
