2008 Indy Wine Competition

We've won so many awards this year that it's beginning to seem repetitive to keep reporting them. Check our website for our awards list.

The Indy Wine Competition is the BIG one, and we brought home two silver awards this year!

The Indy International brought in nearly 3,200 wines from 15 countries. The 75 judges liked last year's crop of sweet Minnesota whites. Both our 2007 LaCrescent table wine and our 2007 Frontenac Gris (Essence du Nord) dessert wines took silver.

It's our second crop of wines EVER, and we're bringing home silver awards competing against the big guys. We're aiming higher, and hope you'll stay with us for the ride!

New Prague Red Hat Ladies



We hosted the New Prague Red Hat Ladies in for a picnic on Sat the 21st of June. What a great time!

If you're as much fun as these ladies, you're welcome at the vineyard any time!

blooms in the vineyard


It's June in the vineyard, and the grape vines are blooming. Just think, each of these pretty little blossoms will grow up to be a yummy grape!
A friend once said that men are like grapes... if you stomp them, press them, strain them and age them, eventually you might be able to enjoy a nice meal with them. These are my little boys!
