This Chambourcin is precisely what we were aiming to do. It’s a full-bodied, dry red that hints of dark fruits, tobacco, and a surprisingly smooth finish. Lester is dedicated to the sturdy Farmall tractor. The name comes from the tractor’s original owner, Lester Swartzkopf- Andy’s childhood neighbor who has since passed on. We have the receipt and original paperwork for this workhorse. This is definitely our workhorse of wines.

Cracklin’ Rose’ you make us sing like a guitar hummin'! This rose’ is light, it’s dry, it’s pleasing. We and a buncha great friends crushed and pressed these grapes within 2 hours after harvest, and they didn’t disappoint. Vibrant, clear, and dry is what we hoped for! We love her.

Our grandcritters nicknamed the tractor Jerry. We don’t know why. We’re not asking. When we asked them to name our first wines, “Lester and Jerry” were not on our wine-naming Bingo cards. Nonetheless, Jerry is Lester’s spunky brother. The only difference in their DNA is the yeast. You won’t believe the difference it makes!

Rose’ Riveter is an exciting companion to Cracklin’. Same grapes, same process, different yeast makes all of the difference. Help us distinguish between these lovely pinks! We can do it!
