"During the 1980 and 1981 seasons, we made about 10,000 gallons of elderberry wine, constrained only by the availability and accessibility of wild elderberries from riverbeds between Christchurch and Burkes Pass. The Regional Catchment Boards of the day were attempting to eradicate the elder, given its classification as a semi-noxious weed. Our mindset to make 'something out of nothing' has always driven us to keep innovating." -- Michael Barker Elderberry Wine, Thriving Businesses, Winemaking, Christchurch, Pasture, Family Farm, Barker, Wines, Red Wine

Back then I was only about 11 years old…just a boy in shorts during that first vintage, but I remember it well." - Michael Barker S Stories, Ito, Michael, Remember, Shorts, Bottle, The Originals
