WET WHISTLE WINE FEST 
September 15th & 16th, 2023

Award-winning wines, grape stomp, heritage foods, fine art & live music! It isn’t all of the visitors smiling at the same time that’s weird. Nor is it the trombonist standing in a grape-filled barrel while playing an amazing riff. Nor the people with sticky purple feet dancing onstage. This is normal and to be expected. What’s odd are all the costumes. We don’t ask anyone to show up dressed as wine bottles, or happy nuns who love Naughty Girl wine. These are just a couple examples of Festival goings-on that we just couldn’t make up. Don’t take our word for it… come see it for yourself!  Visit https://vonstiehl.com/event/wet-whistle-wine-festival-2023/ to learn more about the days events!

FAREWELL, STEER ROAST 

Whether you subscribe to the notion that our Steer Roast was a great success, or that it left something to be desired, we couldn’t agree more. We are grateful for all our event staff and Wolf Den volunteers; they were outstanding. Steel Belly Barbecue worked hard to fit their talents into an event that was already outlined. Even the musicians gave the crowd great cheer.

By now, you’ve probably figured out where this is going. We have made the decision to not hold another Steer Roast. Keeping a business going nowadays requires a completely different strategy, and unfortunately roasting a full steer comes with financial loss.

Going forward, we’ll focus on smaller, more intimate events. Anticipate a new season of red wine-focused events starting this fall. If you can’t wait, why not sign up for our Futures Wine Tasting in August? How do you taste the future? Come meet our winemakers on Saturday, August 19th and you might find out.
