experience with wine when his father opened
a late harvest Dessert wine at a family

years. "It had turned from a light
straw color into a deep gold, and the depth
and layers of flavor were incredible.
It was the first time that I realized how
great wine can be." Robert has lived on the
North Shore for almost 10 years and enjoys
sea kayaking, snowboarding, cross -country
skiing, mountain biking and camping.
