Jeff & Lauren Aubry

One of the founding partners of Coyote’s Run, Jeff has followed an interesting path in life. He has been a soldier and a career student; he’s ridden the high-tech bubble, and been pink-slipped twice. With no industry experience other than consuming copious amounts of fine wine, Jeff decided to pursue a dream hatched on a wine tour with university buddies: opening his own winery. Though it has been a tremendous amount of work, Jeff is extremely pleased with his decision to get into the business of making high-quality, hand crafted premium wines.

David Sheppard   

Dave has been making top-notch wine for over 20 years. He got his start in 1980 in a small, family-run winery in the Mittlerhein, but soon moved over to an upstart Canadian winery named Inniskillin Wines. After 21 years there, he made the big jump to Coyote’s Run, a small art-house style winery that allows him to fully exercise his wine-making talents. A big fan of Burgundian and Alsatian wines, Dave focuses on making wines that are complex yet elegant, full-flavored yet balanced. He prefers wines that are approachable and fruit-driven, with soft ripe tannins, yet always showing true varietal character. Outside of the winery, Dave is a devoted husband to his wife Christina, a father of two beautiful young ladies (Britt and Andrea), and a diehard Leafs fan (much to Jeff’s chagrin).
