Frank Gregus worked for Pepsi for more than 23 years, but there’s nothing he loved more than a good bottle of wine. So much so, he started making his own, in the garage of his New Westminster home. He joined a winemaking club and met Maurice Hamilton, a dental equipment salesman who also had an affinity for the grape. They got together monthly to compare notes. They traveled by bus to visit other garage wineries and learn new techniques. Their homemade wines started to win accolades and awards.
