Fort Pelly was a Hudson's Bay Company fur trading post in Saskatchewan, Canada, named after Sir John Pelly, the company's governor. The current village of Pelly is located about 8 miles north of the fort's original site.Before Fort Pelly, there was Fort Hibernia in the vicinity. The original Fort Pelly was established in 1824 at the northeast elbow of the Assiniboine River, near a key portage between the Assiniboine and Swan Rivers. It was the administrative center for the Hudson's Bay Company's Swan River District. The fort included a dwelling house, Indian house, staff houses, a store, and stables, all within a square palisade. The first chief trader was Alan McDonell. The fort traded with Cree and Salteaux Natives and employed people from these communities. After being destroyed by fire in 1842, it was rebuilt by chief trader Cuthbert Cumming. Thomas McKay, who later became the first mayor of Prince Albert, was born there in 1849.In 1856, Fort Pelly was relocated about a quarter mile southeast to avoid flooding. The original site remained in use until at least 1859. By 1870, the Hudson's Bay Company ceded its lands to Canada, retaining its posts. The fort was on block 17 of the Fort Pelly Reserve until Fort Ellice took over as district headquarters around 1871. The arrival of the Canadian Northern Railway in 1909, 6 miles north of Fort Pelly, led to a decline in trade, and the fort was abandoned in June 1912.Excavations by the Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History in 1971 and 1972 uncovered all known buildings and recovered 7,000 artifacts. The site of the first Fort Pelly was designated a Historic Site by Saskatchewan in 1986 and is managed by Saskatchewan Parks Service. The site of the second fort was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1953 and is maintained by the Fort Pelly Historical Society.

By 1906-1916, the hamlet expanded with a variety of businesses and facilities.However, the rise of automobiles and new railway lines caused Cheadle’s growth to stall.

Schloss Johannisberg, situated in the village of Johannisberg in the Rheingau wine-growing region of Hesse, Germany, functions as both a castle and a winery. With a winemaking legacy spanning over 900 years, it's renowned for its association with the inception of late harvest wines. The palace also serves as a venue for the Rheingau Musik Festival, made accessible by co-founder Tatiana von Metternich-Winneburg.Historical Timeline Schloss JohannisbergThe locale, linked to winemaking since the Middle Ages, saw vineyards under Louis the Pious yielding wine around Charlemagne's era. In 1100, Benedictine monks erected a monastery on Bischofsberg ('Bishop's mountain'), recognizing it as prime vine-growing terrain. Thirty years later, a Romanesque basilica in honor of John the Baptist emerged, christening the hill Johannisberg. Ravaged during the German Peasants' War in 1525, the monastery faced destruction. In 1716, Konstantin von Buttlar, Prince-Abbot of Fulda, acquired the estate, kickstarting the baroque palace's construction and planting Riesling vines by 1720, establishing the world's oldest Riesling vineyard. Ownership changed hands during the Napoleonic Wars until Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor, granted it to the Austrian statesman Prince von Metternich in 1816. During World War II, the castle suffered bombings, reducing it to ruins, later restored by Paul Alfons von Metternich-Winneburg and Princess Tatiana post-war. After Prince Paul's passing in 1992, and with no heir, the Metternich lineage ended. The estate was sold to the Oetker family in 1974 due to financial constraints. Presently, the vineyard spans approximately 35 hectares (86 acres).Late Harvest Wines - Schloss JohannisbergLegend has it that a delay in grape harvest, due to a messenger's late arrival with permission from Heinrich von Bibra, led to the grapes developing 'noble rot' Botrytis cinerea. This fortuitous delay resulted in high-quality wine production. In 1775, Schloss Johannisberg produced the first Spätlese Riesling, followed by an Auslese wine in 1787 and an Eiswein in 1858, marking significant milestones in winemaking. The estate historically used various color seals to categorize grape ripeness, serving as the basis for Germany's new wine classification in 1971. Schloss Johannisberg stands as a single vineyard designation (Einzellage), exempt from displaying a village name on labels, using Schloß Johannisberger as its vineyard designation. Moreover, Weingut Schloss Johannisberg is a member of the Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter (VDP).

Ridge Vineyards, a California winery renowned for Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay, operates in two northern Californian locales. The original winery, perched at 2,300 feet on Monte Bello Ridge in Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, boasts historical significance dating back to 1885 when vines were first planted. Founded officially in the early 1960s, Ridge Vineyards gained acclaim with its 1971 Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon in the 'Judgment of Paris.' Purchased by engineers from Stanford Research Institute, it started commercial production in 1962. The winery's international reputation soared after its Monte Bello wine ranked high in various competitions, including the 30th Anniversary Judgment of Paris. Besides Cabernet Sauvignon, Ridge Vineyards began producing Zinfandel in 1964 and expanded sourcing grapes to Sonoma County in 1966, eventually acquiring the Lytton Springs vineyard in 1991. Operating in both Monte Bello and Lytton Springs, the winery welcomes visitors to tasting rooms at both locations.

Tenuta San Guido stands as a distinguished Italian wine producer nestled in the DOC Bolgheri in Toscana, renowned for its creation of 'Super Tuscan' wines. Notably, it crafts Sassicaia, a Bordeaux-style red wine acclaimed in oenophile circles. The estate also boasts Guidalberto as its second wine and Le Difese as its third. A proud member of the Primum Familiae Vini, Tenuta San Guido has a rich history steeped in winemaking excellence. Established by marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, also a co-owner of the renowned racehorse Ribot, Tenuta San Guido's prominence burgeoned with the creation of Sassicaia. The name Sassicaia, derived from the Italian 'sasso,' meaning 'stone,' was born in 1948 when Incisa della Rocchetta first crafted it using Cabernet Sauvignon vines, initially intended solely for familial consumption. Contrary to a narrative linking its vines to Château Lafite-Rothschild, dismissed by Mario's son Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta, the vineyard was actually cultivated from cuttings sourced from a friend's estate near Pisa, boasting 50-year-old vines. While Sassicaia was initially a private reserve, it was later commercialized at the behest of Mario's son Nicolò and nephew Piero Antinori, with the 1968 vintage marking its debut in 1971. Its limited initial release sparked significant demand, leading Mario Incisa della Rocchetta to engage the expertise of consulting enologist Giacomo Tachis to refine the wine and expand its production. In a 1978 Decanter tasting of esteemed clarets, the 1972 Sassicaia triumphed, securing first place among 33 wines from 11 countries, a testament to its exceptional quality. Notably, in 1994, Sassicaia was granted its unique DOC (Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC), an exclusive honor for a single-estate wine in Italy, having previously been classified as an IGT (Indicazione geografica tipica) and initially designated as a Vino da tavola. Spanning 75 hectares in Bolgheri, Tenuta San Guido cultivates primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) grapes. Its annual production approximates 180,000 bottles. Guidalberto, introduced in 2000, initially blended Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese, later evolving to exclude Sangiovese. Le Difese, the newest addition, marries Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, yielding 120,000 bottles annually.
