Red Wing Tour Company

Our exploits this weekend would have you believe that we had opened a new business, the Red Wing Tour Company. We have not gone into (profitable) business yet, but Andy did lead a group of us on a lovely tour of Red Wing this Sunday, including time at Falconer Vineyards during the harvest and a gorgeous hike up Barn Bluff. Some photos are below.

The press: you pour de-stemmed grapes in the barrel, then the black bladder is pumped with air and presses the grapes against the wood, draining the juice from the skins.


Lovely view of the Mississippi, while hiking up Barn Bluff.
