Von Stiehl Winery - Algoma, Wisconsin

We are thrilled to announce that six of our Wisconsin Wines recently won awards at the 2011 Tasters Guild International. We submitted six wines, and all six won!

Tasters Guild was established in 1987 and currently boasts 40 active chapters throughout the country. Each chapter sponsors a variety of food and wine events throughout the year. Tasters Guild also conducts an Annual International Wine Judging each spring, when experts review and award new releases.

This year, our Algoma Winery took home gold medals for our new White Stileto and our Cabernet Sauvignon. We took home silver medals for our Naughty Girl Wine, Cherry Bounce, and our Crimson Royale. And we took home one bronze medal for our Risque Riesling.

It is gratifying to have the quality of our wine recognized by experts in the field. Yet feedback from our customers is no less important to us. Come see for yourself - visit our Algoma Winery and try some of our wine. Ask us to pour you a glass of White Stiletto or our Naughty Girl Wine. Plan to come to one of our Cuisine Concerts later this summer, or to Ladie's Fest in early July.

We make our wine for you to enjoy, and we are truly honored by the awards granted us by Tasters Guild.

Winter means skiing, and skiing means apres ski, and apres ski means Wisconsin Wine. While downhill skiing may be a little challenging to find here in eastern Wisconsin, there are abundant opportunities for cross country skiing.

The Ahnapee State Trail is close to our Wisconsin Winery. Stretching about thirty miles along an abandonned railroad line from Casco to Sturgeon Bay, it is a lovely, mostly level place to stretch your legs. Cross country skiers can truly find their stride as they follow the trail along the Ahnapee River, through woods and open lands.

Once you've had enough physical activity for the day, load up your skis and head to our Algoma Winery. We'll let you sit while you taste our wines; we want you to be relaxed while you select which wines you'd like to purchase. Are you in the mood for something red and rich, like our Crimson Royale, or something light and crisp like our Chenin Blanc? Perhaps you want a fruity flavor; if so, try our Cherry Kirsche, fortified with brandy. Whatever you select, we are confident you'll be happy. Take it home, put your feet up, and enjoy it with good friends.
