More Wine Awards!

We didn't enter many wine contests last year due to time constraints and poor (cold) conditions for transporting wine. Yesterday, however, we picked up a Bronze for our Frontenac and a Silver medal for our Frontenac Rose' at the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition in Rochester, New York. Our highest placement ever in this competition!

...And the Countdown Begins!

The vineyard re-opens on April 14 2012 and there's lots to be done in the next few weeks. Don's burning the midnight oil moving wine this evening. It's a cold, tired, wet night. And the MOSQUITOES are already biting!

Balancing wine from the harvest of '11 this year is truly an art...truly is...hard work. Nonetheless it's a labor of love for us to actually grow our own grapes. We believe you taste the difference - that's why we win more medals.

Lots to look forward to this summer. We're excited about the Northwoods Red and our new Solara White that's already for sale on the website. Make plans to visit the vineyard next month. Come find out why we're working so hard on a miserable March night. The end result is SO worth it!
