Gaze longingly; sip the concentrated sunshine of rich land and crisp skies; smell the sweetness of growing grapes as you dine; and linger under the red and orange skies of a vineyard sunset.

The ultimate Minnesota vineyard sunset.

Crofut Winery earned a Bronze award for our Frontenac Rose' and one for our brand new Frontenac Gris 2007. Bronze medals require a unanimous panel vote for bronze, we're pleased with our standings. Vineyard & Winery Management magazine lists the competition results online.

Tasters Guild Wine Competition

We rock! Five submitted wines, four medals!

I'm really excited about the Frontenac Gris' Silver. We're a small fish and I entered the Gris in a big-pond category. We still scored second place! Give us time... our rankings are only going to get better and better...

Diane's birthday bash

On Sunday, our family friend Lady Diane Sullivan turned 29 for the 21st time. She drove her 1967 Camaro out to the vineyard as family and friends joined in saluting her chronological advancement. We had a wonderful time with Diane, her family and friends. It was a beautiful spring day for a birthday party.

We're gonna have a billboard ad, too!

We met with a big distributor last week -- they're spreading the word about Crofut wine and our popularity continues to grow. Take a look at the billboard we'll be putting up soon. We are SO stoked for summer!
