Freeze Damage At Wollersheim Extensive

by · April 14, 2012

The Wisconsin State Journal reports that Wollersheim Winery,  Wisconsin’s largest winery and largest estate winery,  sustained significant crop damage this week.   The WSJ story also includes a slightly more optimistic assessment from Sara Botham at Botham Vineyards and Winery only 25 miles south of Wollersheim.   Frost, like fog, seems to come in on cat’s feet; hitting one area hard while sparing another.   (Apologies to Carl Sandberg.)  http://host.madison.com/wsj/business/frost-wreaks-havoc-on-wollersheim-vines/article_f995fc08-8503-11e1-84b5-0019bb2963f4.html  (Apologies to Carl Sandberg.)
