Whispering Bluffs Winery

Wine: Winery: Ambiance: Oct 22, 2018

We went to Potosi for their famous Wisconsin Potosi beer and found incidentally this delightful wine tasting room. Combine a few new dry wines to our vocabulary, Marechal Foch & Marquette, with an enthusiastic hostess, Deb, and you’ve got a great experience coming into this state. Unique was that all the wine bottles had ascribed to them bird identification and original art work of each species; as, Rose-Breasted Grosbeak (Marquette/Cab Sauv), Kingfisher (Foch/Cab Sauv), Red Tail Hawk (Foch/Marquette/Cab Sauv), Indigo Bunting, etc. because 80% of all North American birds are seen in the Upper Mississippi Valley Flyway where this vineyard is located. First planted in 2008 with 3.5 acres, the owners are now expanding their vineyards by an additional five acres. Admittedly, most of the wines are Semi-Sweet or Sweet, but we are glad to have found four of their dry wines really fun.
