As this newsletter
goes to print, we are
assessing our second
vintage of Marquette
as it gracefully ages
in the barrels. It will
be ready for bottling
very soon. We hope
to have it available by
Strawberry Festival,
but the wine will
determine when it is
ready, not us.
Fingers
crossed!
Once again, voters named
Cedar Creek Winery
the Best Winery in the
Milwaukee area for 2014.
To determine the winner,
voters had more than
10 nominees to choose
from. Cedar Creek
Winery was also awarded
2015 Winner Certificate
of Excellence from
TripAdvisor. Thanks to
all of you for your votes
and recommending us to
you family and friends!
Winery of the Year
Based upon our combined
competition results (Cedar
Creek and Wollersheim
Wineries) our sister
winery, the Wollersheim
Winery won big at the
2015 Riverside International Wine
Competition (RIWC), which took place
May 5-7 in Riverside, Calif. The Prairie
du Sac, Wisconsin-based winery was
named the competition’s 2015 Small
Winery of the Year.
Wollersheim Winery’s Dry Riesling took
the gold medal, while its Prairie Fumé,
White Riesling and Prairie Blush all
took silver. Wollersheim Winery’s sister
winery, Cedar Creek Winery won silver
medals for its Gewurztraminer, Pinot
Grigio and La Belle Vie wines.
Wollersheim Winery Winemaker
Philippe Coquard said, “Winning this
honor feels great. Since we were awarded
Winery of the Year and Wine of the Year
[at the San Diego International Wine
Competition in 2012 and 2013], you
think it will never happen again, but it
did happen again. Riverside is a famous
wine competition.”
Summer in the Vineyard
From T
Winemhaek
As is usual, the weather went from
cool to warm. Over one weekend
we went from only buds to leaf-out.
It was a rather fast bud break. We are witnessing
some missing buds due to winter injury or winter kill. We
certainly didn't expect that. We are realizing that it is not only due to this
past winter but the accumulation of a severe drought and the following
winters. We are almost ready to start suckering which is the removal of
unwanted shoots that form on the trunks of the vines. It also allows us to
select a few new shoots if and when we suspect that the trunk or the fruiting
zone will need to be replaced.
er
We have no new plantings this year but have 1.5 acres of baby vines entering
their 2nd and very critical year. These vine will require lots of TLC.
It is nice to see the green shoots and we are hoping for a good season. We are
in touch with all our local growers, monitoring how they all are doing and
so far so good.
Marquette in the barrels.
Marquette is coming back. We have a dozen barrels that we are watching
carefully. It is aging gracefully and will come out of our Wisconsin oak
barrels very soon. It is a touch lighter than the previous vintage. We are
looking forward to a great release very soon.
The other two barrel aged wines, Cabernet and Syrah are evolving nicely
and will be ready by fall.
Distillery
Construction is moving fast. All the walls are up and the masons are
finishing the decorative stones on the front of the building. We will have
a roof by the weekend. The basement ceilings are filling up with pipes...
drains, water, process piping, heat, cold etc....We are very excited with the
prospect of being able to distill soon.
The Grand Opening is in preparation, scheduled for the 14th and 15th of
August. We will be releasing our Coquard Brandy #3, aged Apple, Clear
Apple and hopefully some Gin and Absinthe. I say "hopefully" because we
want it to be from our own distilled spirit and not a purchased neutral spirit
which is widely available on the market. Just as we are winemakers, we are
also distillers...we MAKE it all and don't cut corners.
It is a new venture, a new business-like starting all over again. It's
challenging but very interesting and we can't wait to be distilling! We have
grand plans...
25 years...
Time is FLYING. We are so excited to be able to share with all of you some
good times and celebrate 25 year of Cedar Creek Winery. Our focus every
day is to make the best wine possible, and those successful days of great wine
become years of great wine. Hopefully you can make the Garden Party on
the evening of July 17th and we can celebrate the years together.
