Carl's Vineyard
 An electrical engineer by training, Carl displayed the Wilson entrepreneurial drive early in his career and opened Wilson Lighting & Display in his native Toronto, Canada. Today his oldest son, Donald, owns the business.
Carl and Dorothy Wilson enjoyed 66 years together and raised four children. Ken Wilson, their second child, learned the value of hard work, family and enjoying life by watching his parents. Ken’s entrepreneurial spirit, instilled by his parents, was nurtured and supported by Carl as Ken grew into adulthood. Carl passed away in September of 2006, just as his namesake vineyard was ripening for harvest.
Carl’s Vineyard produces solid, reliable zinfandel grapes that reflect the man who inspired Ken Wilson and supported his dream of being a grape grower. As is fitting, Carl’s and Dorothy’s Vineyards are located right next to each other.
