Good Morning: 10:00 am

I have more cider news, last Monday Jon bottled two pallets of Minnesota Crisp hard cider in the 22 ounce bottles. Yesterday he showed me that one pallet is already gone to the wholesale market, but don't fear we still have a pallet at the winery and next week he bottles another 500 gallons. We announced the return of MN Crisp on Facebook and the response has been exceptional.

Given this on my mind I awoke this morning with a panic dream. I dreamt that every bottle of wine at the winery was gone. I just couldn't find a single bottle of wine, imagine that, good think I woke up.

My How Time

Flies

Yesterday I realized that this fall we are now 10 years working on the winery project. I was a young 53 yr. old at that time and Mary was even younger. Jon and Anna were closer to kids and Iza wasn't. I think this is worth celebrating.

Looking for a photo to put here, I googled Millner Heritage Winery Photos and got quite a response of a blend of pictures from over the years. If you'd like to see some of them click HERE .
