Reif Estate Winery announced today that they will donate a case of their carefully nurtured wines to be used for the “Closest to the Case” competition in the upcoming BSR Benefit Golf Tournament. “Other golf tournaments do a closest to the pin event, but we thought this crowd would appreciate something a little different and Klaus Reif of Reif Estate Winery stepped up to the podium with their contribution,” says Janet Stewart of BSR.
More about the Reif Estate Winery: The Reif family tradition of winemaking began nearly half a millennium ago in the small winemaking town of Neustadt, located in the heart of the world renowned Rhine River Valley in Germany. In 1977, this tradition transcended to a new continent, when founder Ewald Reif purchased a plot of land on the fertile banks of the Niagara River. After carefully nurturing the land for six years, the potential of these young vineyards became evident when the doors of Reif Estate Winery officially opened in 1983. In 1987, Klaus W. Reif took over the reins from his uncle Ewald, as the President and Winemaker after graduating from the world famous Geisenheim Institute in Germany with degrees in both Oenology and Viticulture.

Most people don’t realize that Brian has been repairing and restoring vintage racing cars for more than 40 years. Vintage car racers and collectors regularly bring their beaten and torn vehicles to his racing shop to have them whipped back into racing shape.
Check out the new website that we just launched – www.RestoreRacingCars.com and be sure to check out the story about “The Hawke” – a formula ford owned by Ross Smith that is back at BSR for some TLC, but that Brian actually took “pole position” in, in 1971.
