Up against 1,700 wineries from across the globe at the San Diego International Wine Competition last week, Wollersheim Winery of Prairie Du Sac, Wisconsin received a record six awards. Co-owner Julie Coquard told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “Wineries are growing in all of the states, but there’s a lot of emphasis on products made in our backyard. It’s very neat to get the recognition from California for our wines here.” For more information on how Wollersheim makes world-class wine, please see Midwest Wine Press, January 2012 article: “Wollersheim Celebrates 40th Anniversary.”
