Favorite Wine: Driftless

The decor is very neat. Not a whole lot of sweet wines, but the ones they do have are good.

Favorite Wine: 2011 or 2013 Field 3 (can't remember which one I liked better.)

The tasting room in in a big and well maintained barn on a very well maintained farmstead. This set-up doesn't usually excite me only because I am so used to it but this is a very well maintained, shady set-up. I would think a visit here in the fall with all the fall colors would be tremendous. The drawback on the wine lineup was that they were all of good solid quality that it was difficult for any one or two of them to standout. Each variety, white or red, was a solid, subtle, smooth representation of its style. Maybe not daring but solid and enjoyable. Ones to definitely take home with confidence that you'll enjoy them there as well as you did in the tasting room. For reds, I really liked both vintages of the Field 3 as well as the Uplands Reserve. For whites, which were very crisp, clean and subtle, it was hard to go wrong again: Cupola, Vin 10 and their Riesling were quite nice. Finally, I am not usually a blush fan. However, their Badger Blush was a blush I could welcome home as well and actually we did take some home. And finally, after all of this, the prices were quite reasonable as well.
