“Years back, while tending my family farm, I had a revelation. I loved the farm. This is my Paris, my Australia, my South Africa, my freedom. So I dress the part and enjoy life through the rose-coloured glasses of the fancy farm girl. The farm is a metaphor, the attire an approach. The reality? There is a fancy farm girl in all of us.”
“Fancy Farm Girl is more a state of mind than it is a wine. I believe every woman has a bit of a fancy farm girl in her — the girl who rides a Harley, the figure skater who becomes a hockey fan. And she always, always, pours prior to drinking.”
— Sue-Ann Staff
A passion for wine has taken Sue-Ann Staff around the globe, but through all her travels and all her experience crafting award-winning wines, one truth became evident: she loves the farm. The sights, the smells, the sounds — and, perhaps most importantly, the lifestyle.
A fifth-generation farmer in the heart of Ontario’s Niagara wine country, Sue-Ann has taken her passion for wine and blended it with her passion for the farm in every bottle of Fancy Farm Girl Wines.
Having some fun with her love of F-words, Sue-Ann created four Fancy Farm Girl wines:
Affordable, approachable and fun, Fancy Farm Girl wines are very much a reflection of their maker, who established Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery on her family’s 200-year-old farm, where they have been growing grapes for more than a century.
“The best day for me is when I start out in steel-toed work boots and ripped jeans, get up to my elbows in the vineyards or tank room, and then head home, shower, pop on a gala dress and go to pour wine at a splashy event. I love the contrast, the diversity, the glamour. But my roots are in the farm.” — Sue-Ann Staff (as quoted by Sommelier Velma LeBlanc)
Sue-Ann Staff is a fifth-generation farmer and proprietor of Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery — a small, quality-oriented winery on the Staff family’s 200-year-old estate on the brow of the Niagara Escarpment in Jordan, Ontario.
Blending more than a century of grape-growing experience with Sue-Ann’s expertise, the winery has earned hundreds of national and international awards since opening in 2009 — producing exceptional Rieslings, Icewines, reds, rosés, and sparkling wines.
“Sue-Ann Staff is going at it on her own — focusing 100% on her own winery: Sue-Ann Staff Estates Winery… Home to Fancy Farm Girl Wines. This is a big leap for anyone, yet this remarkable woman can do anything.” — Sommelier Debbie Trenholm, Savvy Wine Company
