I am sure all Canadians know the name "Gretzky".  But imagine our surprise when the Great One's father walked through our doors.  Of course, he was in Vancouver to take part in the Torch relay for the Olympics.  But who would have guessed that he has family in our area and decided to drop by to help bottle a batch of wine.  A true gentleman, he visited with customers and staff alike, posed for pictures and regaled everyone with his stories and trivia.   

Walter has had many challenges in his life but if anything they have humbled him and made him the gentleman he is today.  Thank you Walter for dropping in and bringing all of us at Coastal Winemakers a huge helping of Olympic spirit and Canadian pride!
