Who Are Actress Katie Douglas Parents?

Actress Katie Douglas was born to her parents Jayne Douglas and Sean Douglas. The couple welcomed their daughter on 19 October 1998 as one of their four children. She has previously shared in an interview that her parents weren’t thrilled about her pursuing a career in acting.

Katie said, “I was actually very young when I was given the opportunity. I think I did some kind of after-school summer camp when I was six years old. We had put on a play and one of the parents in the audience happened to be a casting agent. They sent me off to sign a contract and that’s how I got started. I’ve been doing commercials and modeling and other stuff.”

Later, she added, “My parents weren’t necessarily excited about it but when they saw the paycheck they thought University, so they let me keep doing it. It’s stuck with me throughout my life and I believe I’ll always have a love affair with acting but I am in university now and am grateful for a young career to be able to pay for it.”

Meet Jayne Douglas, Katie Douglas Mother

Jayne Douglas is actress Katie Douglas’s mother. She and her husband run a winery business together and the property Ridge Road is on has been in Jayne’s family for generations, dating back to the 1800s.

Her great, great grandfather was E.D. Smith, and her grandmother hung onto this land because she wanted to keep it in the family and keep it a farm. Fruit trees from the original orchards still mingle with a brush along the edge of the property barely in the view from the back window of what is now the main building and the couple plans to keep it that way.

“Twenty-five years ago,” Jayne said, “We took a trip to France and that’s when it all started for us. We always knew this property was here and possibly available, and we thought a lot about it.”

Growing up, Katie and her siblings spent their weekends in Burlington living the suburban life, then on the weekend, the entire family inhaled clean country air on the farm. “Our kids basically spend May in the pond outside,” Jayne says. “There are bullfrogs in there big enough to pick up with two hands.”

Sean Douglas is the co-owner of Ridge Road Estates Winery. Previously, he worked as an accountant for 20 years before they decided to go full-time for their passion for creating wine in 2011. “It was now or never,” Sean said at the time, “I needed to take the leap.” Ridge Road Estates Winery formally opened its doors in September 2009 and now it’s a full-fledged family-run business enjoying the complete attention of both owners.

He co-owned the business with his wife and planned to turn their boutique winery into a regular destination for those living and traveling through the area. The couple claims that there is a rising interest in all things local, and they intend to take advantage of this trend and engage in it as much as they can by sourcing local produce and making use of the skills of nearby artists.

Located on 60 acres of property (12 currently growing grapes), Ridge Road is a shiny new dark-wood and orange-accented addition to a growing list of Southern Ontario wineries, specifically escarpment wineries that are keeping the agricultural traditions alive in some of the province’s best growing soil.

There are two distinct grape-growing areas in the region: Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Bench area on top of the escarpment. According to Sean, wind patterns that flow up and over the escarpment (represented in Ridge Road’s orange dotted line in the logo) keep the temperature at the right level. But more importantly, the mineral condition of the soil produces unique grape flavors. “We plant what grows best here,” Sean says, “such as Rieslings, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.”

The couple spends May to December seven days a week producing small batch vintages and greeting guests with a smile, pouring free samples, vetting questions, and encouraging people to expand their wine tastes and vocabulary.

“The majority of people who visit the winery aren’t wine experts,” Jayne said. “But that’s not what we are about. Some people who come to the tasting bar might be intimidated, but we are trying to eliminate that. The education we give each customer is about finding what they like. That’s ultimately what’s important.”

Like most craft wineries, they take great pride in the accolades they have received and are inspired by the sheer volume of Ontario wines that are being promoted and entered in competitions throughout the world. Two gold medals were obtained by the winery at the 2010 All-Canadian Wine Championships in May.

“Last year was super hot and super dry and great for reds,” Sean said. Ridge Road plans to focus on what works best in the clay loam soil on top of the escarpment. The bottled results included a quiet Chardonnay, a fruity tropical Riesling, a cheeky Cabernet called Call me a Cab, and ” the crown jewel ­” Vineridge Blend, a unique blend made from Traminette grapes.

“It’s not often you get to taste something totally different,” Sean says as he pours a glass from this unusual varietal. Ridge Road is one of a few wineries growing this type of grape “a hybrid developed at Cornell University to grow well in New York State (and region).

Sean studied viticulture and winemaking at the University of Guelph, practiced with other aspiring vineyard owners, and gradually constructed the main two-story building that today hosts the wine-tasting bar and barrel storage facilities. That project took six years to finish “a hobby he calls a ‘stress release’.

For nine years, before producing their own wine, the couple learned of the soil’s capabilities by growing grapes and selling them to hobbyists in the area. Now, all that’s harvested goes into their own bottles and business.
