Lautenbach's Orchard Country Winery and Market is always a popular attraction in Fish Creek. I believe the farm was purchased by the Lautenbach family in the mid-50s. The market opened in 1975 and the w**ery began operating about 10 years after that. In addition to w**e, this is a place to sample and purchase c***r, sauces, salsa, snacks, home decor, and just about anything else. In the summer, they have many events and family activities, and it's always full of visitors.

Hatch Distilling Company opened in Egg Harbor in 2018 and Mixed Meadia Wines began operating next door in 2022. The tasting areas inside the building are in a shared space, so we visited both on Wednesday and had a really good pumpkin cocktail from Hatch.

Too early for a Christmas b**r? I know it's not a Wisconsin b**r, but it's kind of a tradition since its usually the first one that hits the shelves around here.

For the 20+ years that I've visited Door County, Shipwrecked Brew Pub has been a stop along Hwy 42 nearly every time. Shipwrecked originally opened as Door County's first craft microbrewery and brew pub in 1997. It was engulfed in fire in August 2017, and even though the kitchen and brewing room were mostly salvaged, the property was a total loss. It was rebuilt and reopened about a year later in 2018, with a fresh, darker coat of blue paint. The bar area has a more open feel than in did pre-fire, but the famous mermaid that hung above the bar is no longer there - there's now two mermaids in the upstairs dining area. I was able to try 6 new b**rs - 2 pints with my Reel Craft Pass book and a flight of four 3.5 oz samples. The Summer Wheat and the Shoreline Citra Pale Ale were my favorites.

Other than a roadside market on the way into Sturgeon Bay, the first stop in Door County today was Door Peninsula Winery, along with Door County Distillery on the same property. It's hard to believe, but the w**ery opened in 1974. The distillery opened in 2011 as the first producing distillery in the county. Although they have a Sturgeon Bay address, they are technically located in Carlsville. Even on a Wednesday morning in mid October, the property had a lot of foot traffic, a lot of patrons sampling w**e, and it was fully decked out in a Halloween theme. The selection of w**e here is a little overwhelming, which is a good problem, I suppose. They also sell cheese, snacks, dips, sauces, Shipwrecked b**rs, decor, and of course spirits from the distillery.

Fun fact: District 1 Brewing Company has Central Wisconsin's largest collection of pinball machines. I played the Elvira's and the Aerosmith machines tonight. D1 also had live music tonight, on a homecoming weekend for both the public high school and the university in Stevens Point.

Had a chance yesterday to play the golf course at Northern Bay Resort in Arkdale with two co-worker friends. I had played there 20 years ago when it first opened, and this was my first time back. Northern Bay is known for its 7 replica holes, which are copies of famous golf holes around the country. Some examples are #17 at TPC Sawgrass, #13 and #16 at Augusta National, #3 at Oakmont C.C. (the church pew bunkers), etc. The golf course is in great shape and we had unbelievable October weather. If you're a golfer, I highly recommend this golf course, and they have very reasonable fall weekday rates right now.

One last spot from Oshkosh a couple of weeks ago... I stumbled upon Greene's Pour House at the Granary on my way to Fifth Ward a couple blocks away, and once I was inside I knew immediately that I had been there before. They have a full bar, a robust food menu, and 30 craft b**rs on tap. I only had time for one pint, but we'll be back to Oshkosh in November, so a lunch visit might be in order then.

From my Oshkosh visit a couple weeks ago... The doors to Ruby Owl Tap Room on Main Street in downtown Oshkosh open up to a long bar. At the far end, there are 30 b**rs on tap, which the staff say get rotated regularly, other than the house b**r - Ruby Red Amber L***r (pictured) - and a few other local staples. Ruby Owl also has a full bar and a great variety of food on the menu, which draws steady lunch and dinner crowds.
