I chatted with winery owner Dan McLaughlin and his lovely wife Jeanie till the cows came home. They bought the winery in 2012 and promised to keep the original name. I had a wonderful visit! It was refreshing to see and hear a couple with a passion for producing small batch, extremely high quality wines.
