Summer Rain & Big Milestones at the Vineyard!
Summer has brought plenty of rain to the vineyard this season. All this abundant moisture has been a welcome boost for our newly planted Cabernet Franc grapes, helping them take deep root and reach for the sky.
Sustaining Our Soil We’re excited to share a glimpse into how we care for these new vines! We’ve recently invested in new equipment that allows us to move away from chemical weed control in favor of mechanical soil disruption. By opening up the earth, we’re delivering essential oxygen directly to the vine roots while improving drainage keeping the roots drier, healthier, and far less susceptible to disease.
Bistro Updates Visiting us soon? We’re continuing our popular Sunday Brunch Board rotations, alongside our weekly rotating cheesecake flavors.
Award-Winning Wines! We are thrilled to announce that our wines brought home multiple awards at this July’s Indiana State Fair Wine Competition:
- Double Gold: Late Harvest Frontenac Gris 25

Thank you for being a part of our journey—we can’t wait to raise a glass with you soon!
Cheers, Anthony A. Leaderbrand
