ALAIN BREAULT 
has a business in Brigham, Quebec
selling grapevines he has raised (with Mariette) in
greenhouses. The vines they raise should be planted
from mid-May to mid-June for best results. They have
many of the old french hybrids, new hybrids, and some early
ripening viniferas. But most of their vines are hardy
vines from Swenson and others. get more information

History of the ASSOCIATION DES VITICULTEURS DE L'EST ONTARIEN (AVEO) by Raymond (Fume) Huneault, Vice-President, AVEO
Association des Viticulteurs de l'Est ontarien (Alfred)AVEO Vignobles
was created in 1998 by a few amateur grape
growers in the Ottawa Valley. The AVEO is supported by
the
College d'Alfred of the University of Guelph. Dr.
Helen Fisher (Director of Vineland Research Center)
also gave us a good push at the beginning. Some wine
growers have now over 5000-10000 vines and the Wine
Industry is developing fast in Eastern Ontario and
Western Quebec. We finally have lots of support from the
Quebec and Ontario wine Industry. EMail AVEO
Gilles Benoit et Laurie Benoit: founded in 1986, "Vignoble de Pins" (webpage) is a five acre family business with roots going back to the Grossenbacher winery in Switzerland. The winery is located in Sabrevois in the Haut-Richelieu valley, south-east of Montreal. Grape varieties and cultivation methods reflect the harshness of the Québecois climate. Gilles grows hardy varietals and has pioneered the use of geotextile fabrics for winter protection instead of hilling the vines. Winemaker is Gilles Benoit.
Philosophy: We are aiming for a light fruity style in our wines. The emphasis is on reds, blends of hybrids and viniferas.

ROB HUXLEY has been making "wild wines" from local plants for more than
ten years in La Mauricie region of Quebec. It has occurred to him that
grapes might make a more acceptable wine. Who knows? Grapes might be as
interesting! The real question is there a grape that will make decent
wine in zone 4a on a sandy loam? Rob is a Trent University geographer (1982) so has memories of Peterborough. Bet you never thought you were in a viticultural area, Rob!
