I'm Retiring ! After 20 years of growing grapes and 9 years selling wine it's time to spend a summer without having to be in the vineyard every day ( what wine is left is out in the stores ). Our four kids ( my labor ) grew up working in the vineyard, it taught them a great work ethic but none of them wanted to take it over. Our goal was always to make the best wine possible out of our own Wisconsin grapes. We grew our grapes organically, used little to no chemicals in the winemaking process, and only used stainless steel or Wisconsin Oak Barrels for processing and aging. The results were a number of medals in California wine competitions, including a Gold Medal (91 score) for our 2013 Marquette. We have made a final extra Susan's Red donation of $1000 to be split between The Women's Heart Foundation and St. Joseph Food Program. Thank You to everyone who purchased wine over the years and please support Wisconsin Wineries that actually make wine out of Wisconsin fruit, there are far fewer of them than you would think. Ed.

Susan's Red Donation. For all of you that read our back labels ( all five of you ) you know we donate $1 from every bottle of Susan's Red between a health related charity and a heart related charity. Because of the pandemic we decided to donate to a food pantry. We already donated to a health related charity ( you can burn off those covid pounds at the Stockbridge Fitness Center ) so we donated to a Fox Valley food pantry and a Manitowoc Pantry for a total of $1.50 a bottle for the last vintage. Stay safe out there and we'll see you when this is all over.

It's time again this weekend for the Rural Arts Roadtrip . Sharon and I will be sampling our wines at LaClare Family Creamery ( laclarefamilycreamery.com ) including the release of this year's Harvest dessert wine. Our Harvest wine is made in the Madeira style aging for two years in Wisconsin Oak barrels at 90 degrees. Come by and say HI, how can you beat free wine ( and cheese ) samples!

Embark on a self-guided road trip to bask in the fall colors on rural roads and scenic small towns. Rural artisans open up their farms and studios and invite in other artisans who don’t have the space to open to the public and all display their art for sale. Local foods, too.

Murphy's Law "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong". Getting ready for harvest and the skid steer breaks down ( Technically blew a seal in one of the drive motors ), so spent the morning taking it apart. Otherwise doing a lot of cleaning in preparation, at least it was a beautiful day and I was able to take the tanks outside. As for the frog, Sharon says they are as good as puppies for getting attention!

INFORMATION FOR PLANNING A VISIT 1) You need to contact me ( Facebook message or [email protected] ) at least a day in advance. 2) When you visit we will taste our wines that are available ( currently a dry white, two dry reds, and two dessert wines ), then take a glass for a walk down in the vineyard so wear comfortable shoes. 3) Visits last at least an hour so plan on spending some time. 4) We only accept cash or check. Our entrance is not easy to find so I'm including some pictures from the road...Ed
