Madison Magazine: Wis Wine Catching On

by · November 21, 2014

The Wisconsin media can be tough on Wisconsin wine.  A State Journal writer unfairly criticized local wine last December (See: Wisconsin Wine Story Falls Short), but Madison Magazine recently ran an objective article about the successes and growing pains of the Badger State’s wine industry.  Wisconsin is one of top states in the U.S. for supporting locally made food and beverages.  Please ask for local wine at restaurants and retailers.  They don’t know you want local wine unless you ask.
