Von Stiehl Winery - Algoma, Wisconsin

 

Or rather, serve Naughty…Naughty Girl Red Wine, that is.

Our top-selling Wisconsin Wine is on sale through the end of November. That means you have a day and a half to stock your wine cellars with Naughty Girl at the sale price. If you live close to our Algoma, Wisconsin Winery, stop by our tasting room. If you live far from here, order online.

Buy six bottles of Naughty Girl, and get one bottle free. Buy a case of Naughty Girl, and receive a 20% discount off the case (offer expires 11/30/11). Shipping costs will apply to online or phone orders.

With holiday parties just around the corner, it's worth stocking up on your favorite Wisconsin Wine. It's also worth taking advantage of a bargain. We hope you'll do both, and we hope you'll serve our fabulous blend of Cabernet Franc and brandy-fortified black raspberry wine to your guests this holiday season. We call her Naughty Girl.

 

Ladies' Fest takes place at our Algoma Wisconsin Winery on July 9, 2011. This is the event you lovely Ladies of the Vine anticipate all year. It's your chance to spend a day with good friends, pamper yourself, and drink some tasty Wisconsin Wine.

Admission (a mere $30) buys each lucky lady a massage, two glasses of our Algoma Wisconsin Wine, a Naughty Girl wine glass to take home, lunch, and a chocolate truffle. Live music by The Kerry Michaels and The Mulligans will help set a festive mood.

Dozens of specialty vendors with products ranging from designer jewelry to financial planning will be on hand. Eat, shop, drink, shop, and learn to belly dance. Really.

Our "pool boys" will be pouring Naughty Girl Red, White Stiletto, Risqué Riesling, Sassy Sangria, and many more. Sit back, sip wine, and laugh with friends. Now doesn't that sound like a perfect summer day?

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.

Our Wisconsin Wine Club is a great gift for anyone - including you.

Once each quarter, our Algoma Wisconsin Winery ships out a gift box containing a selection of our Wisconsin wine. Recipients never know what will arrive - red wine, white wine, fruit wine, or a combination. A big hunk of tasty Wisconsin cheese will be shipped along with the wine, and another food item as well.

This month we sent out Naughty Girl Red and our Dry Cherry wines. Organic Muenster cheese from Organic Valley Dairy accompanied the wine, as did a box of small, buttery, spring onion crackers. The combination of the wine, cheese, and crackers was really fine. We work hard to find successful pairings (it's a tough job…). All you have to do is open the box and enjoy.

Our Wisconsin Wine Club is a great idea for anyone who may be feeling tired of the same old wine and cheese they always purchase. It is easy to get into a rut when selecting wine - we tend to go with what we know. It is also easy to spend hours standing in front of the cheese counter, trying to imagine which cheese will best complement the wine. In short, it can be an exhausting process, and if the end results don't meet expectations, it can be downright dispiriting.

We hope our Wisconsin Wine and Cheese Club will bring a little joy into your life. It's fun to give presents and it's fun to get presents. Give the gift of wine and cheese to someone you love. Then give it to yourself!

For more information about our Wisconsin Wine Club, please call 1-800-955-5208.

Our Algoma Winery was recently featured on The Taste Spot's first edition of Taste Travel, during their travels through our great state of Wisconsin. Karen shines as she is interviewed while pouring tastes of our Algoma Wine. She talks about our resident ghost (take our winery tour and learn all about him), Cherry Bounce, and the origins of our Naughty Girl wine.

Girls just want to have fun. Cyndi Lauper sings it better than anyone else, but it's a sentiment shared by many. Perhaps it's because running a family and a home can be lonely work. Perhaps it's because running a household on top of working full time is exhausting. The fact is, it's important for women to get together from time to time, so they can talk and laugh and dance until dawn.

Calendars tend to fill quickly, so set this date aside:
May 21, 2011 - the Annual Hotel Stebbins Girls Night Out.

Celebrate your inner Naughty Girl...

Treat your Valentine to a bottle of our Wisconsin wine. Inspire an evening of romance with Naughty Girl Red, White Zinfandel Love, or Risqué Riesling. If you can't decide which she'll like best, offer all three! In addition to Wisconsin wine, you'll find many inspired gifts at our Gift Shop and Tasting Room, such as hand-crafted chocolates and unique bottle stoppers. It's easy to woo your sweet Valentine when you shop at Von Stiehl.

Writer and humorist Oren Arnold once said that the best gift for one's enemy is forgiveness, the best gift to a friend is your heart, and the best gift to yourself is respect. Wise words indeed, and while we don't dispute them, we do have a few other ideas.

How about giving the gift of Wisconsin Wine?

Give Napa Valley Mulling Spices along with a bottle of Cranberry Wine, Sweet Cherry Wine, or Dry Apple Wrap; it's something not everyone thinks to purchase themselves and most people enjoy. Plus it's festive. Or offer bottles of Christmas Blush and Christmas Wine - it's the perfect time of year for these, after all. If you love to give wine with fun labels, leave a bottle of Knockin' Heads Red under the tree. Bring a bottle of Dry Riesling to hosts of a gathering, and put a bow on a bottle of Naughty Girl Wisconsin Wine for the lady who is too naughty to receive a gift from Santa!

For stocking stuffers, try an assortment of bottle stoppers, bottle decorations, and wine glass trinkets (never confuse your glass with another again). For under the tree, how about a lovely wine rack?

The best thing about the gift of wine is that there is never a bad moment to offer it. It's appropriate any time of year, before and after Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's. Stop by our Wisconsin Winery in Algoma when you're on your way to Door County. Taste our wines and pick up a few bottles of the ones you like most, and keep them on hand to offer friends and families on any occasion.

Merry Christmas.

Since March is a month to celebrate and honor women (International Women's Day and National Women's History Month), isn't now the time to plan a girlfriends getaway to beautiful Door County? On your way, be sure to stop by our Algoma Wisconsin Winery, where you can taste to your heart's content.

We are currently in the process of adding 32 feet to our wine tasting bar. This means more elbow room for you when you come. Or, invite more friends to join you. We are dedicated pourers of our Wisconsin wine, so the tasting room and shop are open during the brief construction period. Come check out the change next weekend!

And gals, if you are indeed heading for a weekend of fun in Door County, (when you'll ski and stay up too late talking) you won't want to be without several bottles of Wisconsin wines. Seems like the perfect time for that elegant and sassy Naughty Girl Red. If you prefer whites, try our Oktoberfest, a semi-sweet blend of Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Vignoles.

Come rest your elbows on the new counter in our tasting room, and decide which wines you like best. Then enjoy them with your good friends.

Pictured below is our tasting room before the new counter addition.
