It's December 2012, and Sheena Mercer is driving on a highway hugging the south coast of Vancouver Island. It's dark, sometime in the evening, somewhere west of Sooke, and Mercer's in a camper van.
"Where are we going?" Mercer thought to herself as she navigated the twisting highway with her mother and son. "What is this place?"
The reason for the trip was a bottle of wine: Mercer's mother had promised to have a glass with Phillip du Preez, a friend from Salt Spring Island, since he planned to open a cafe in the unincorporated community of Shirley in the new year.
As they pulled off the highway onto an uphill gravel road, Mercer finally saw the small wooden building that would house the cafe.
"Ohhhh," Mercer said aloud in the camper van.
Du Preez greeted them by uncorking the bottle of wine. He was still formulating his opening plans, but the three soon started dancing and celebrating. The evening turned into night, and by the time the bottle was empty du Preez had a proposition for Mercer: "Do you want to become a partner in the business?"
