This shop has been in business since the mid-seventies serving winemakers and beer makers. When they first started it was mainly winemakers who graced their shop. Since there were no grapes being grown for winemakers in this part of Wisconsin they decided to plant their own small vineyard to supply local wine makers. Since that time their shop and vineyard have grown considerably. They now have over 6 acres of pick-your-own grapes under cultivation in 10 different varieties. There were few beer makers in the US in the 70s. When they opened they stocked Blue Ribbon and John Bull malt extracts. Kent Goldings and Northern brewer hops had to be ordered from Great Britain in order to get them in reasonably fresh condition. Liquid beer yeasts were unheard of. Its a different story today. They have a store fully devoted to the crafts of beer making and wine making as well.
