Rest assured, times have changed in Estonia. No, unfortunately, the country has not been relocated next to Italy and far away from Russia, but as the English language homepage for the “Estonian Wine Trail” (or in Estonian, „Eesti Veinitee“) will clearly show you, there are now twenty-three wineries in Estonia (the proper term in Estonian is „veinitalu“).
If you scroll down a little bit on the Estonian Wine Trail page, you will see that Estonia is practically swimming (perhaps “drowning” is a better word) in wineries, including on the island of Saaremaa. It is a pity grandfather and grandmother had to leave Estonia too early, before Estonia became overrun with wine châteaux.
