Von Stiehl Winery - Algoma, Wisconsin

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.

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.

Summer is wonderful. It means long, hot, days, and long, warm nights. It means beach parties, lake swimming, camping and boating. It's when we stay up late, get up early, and try to fit in as much as possible.

Summer just wouldn't be summer without our Wisconsin Riesling. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like Riesling - even people who say they don't like wine (hard to believe, but they're out there) usually find they enjoy a glass of Riesling once they try it. It is the perfect Wisconsin wine for summer afternoons and evenings.

It's a new decade, and it's time some of our Wisconsin Wine had a new look. That's the motivation behind replacing our Dry Riesling with the new Risque Riesling.

Folks who have had a few sips of this new blend (such as the lucky ladies who attended the Wine and Cheese gathering earlier this month) say they like it, and we sure hope you will too. We are preparing 600 cases for the warmer months, when drinking refreshing rieslings is the best way to stay cool.

In the meantime, you may want to pick up a few bottles of something more hearty to help you make it through the rest of the winter, such as our rich Meritage or the Cabernet Sauvignon Barrel Select. While you are at our Algoma Wisconsin winery, stop by our tasting room and ask to try our new Risque Riesling. You may find that you are ready for it now.
