Wollersheim Winery

Wine: Winery: Ambiance: Oct 19, 2014

One of the nicer Midwest Wineries we have visited by far. The grounds and buildings are among the most attractive we've seen. The wines were very well made. Wollersheim makes their wines from both estate grown and grapes brought in from NY. The winemaker and owner Philippe is from France so they also sell wine from his father's winery in France. Since the vinifera based wines were not made from locally grown grapes we didn't focus on them. All of the wines seemed to have a high level of delicacy and finesse to us. We didn't really taste a bad one on our visit. The star of the show for us was their estate grown Marechal Foch. Wollersheim bottles two versions we really liked: a Domaine du Sac and also a reserve. The reserve was not available for purchase on our visit but we did get to do a tasting of it. These wines also had a low percentage of Leon Millot blended in as well. We enjoyed them both. By far the best Foch we have ever tasted. Just this week now in October after our July visit, we opened up the Domain du Sac. It was a 2013 vintage. It was even better than I remember from our July visit. Very delicate. Very enjoyable. Already complexity is evident. Old World style which is what we prefer over California style fruit bombs. Upon tasting it again, I am going to say it makes our top ten of all wines tasted. Especially when you consider how young this wine is. Not harsh at all. We're going back to the area in November and we'll be purchasing a case of this new fave.

We were at this winery in 2008. The tour was very interesting. We purchased Dry Reisling, Blushing Rose, and Cedarburg Spice. This is the only place we have been to so far that had wooden wine storage boxes for sale.

I remember visiting Wollersheim with my parents when I was a senior in high school. This winery has grown so much since then and is still a wonderful winery to visit. I highly recommend the tour. Wonderful wineries, great ambiance!

Favorite Wine: Prairie Fume

One of Wisconsin's best wineries both for the wine and for a visit. We had a wonderful time visiting and their wines are excellent and reasonably priced.

We enjoyed the tour of the facility. The wine tasting was fun and informative. The atmosphere/decor of the winery could be improved in the gift store and upstairs. It did not reflect the classiness and quality of the wine. Overall fun experience!
