I visited this winery a few years back
with my friends Roy, Maria, Ed & Mary. (I expect them to
"jet in" for the tasting! Sorry, private joke.)
Great wines & not over priced. He'll be pouring, among
others, one
of our summertime favorites, the "New Gewurz". It's light &
floral
with a little spice. Quite nice! (Hmmm? Wasn't
that Riunite on ice...oh forget it!)
Bob's family bought the property back in 1962 & produced their
1st
wine in 1975 & have always produced good quality wines, including
the Sin Zin. Stop by & taste these terrific wines.

Tuesday
May 13th Hook & Ladder Wine Dinner at Stevens in Gurnee with
Michael DeLoach $53 per person not including tax & gratuity
6:30
reception, 7pm Dinner
Sort
of a family reunion for me. If you recognized the name, DeLoach
you will realize that this is the real
DeLoach Winery, not the one you see labeled as such these days.
We
will be joined by Cecil's son, Michael for a terrific dinner at
Stevens. In a previous life, I worked for DeLoach as their
Midwest Rep
& of course, became very familiar with the wines. (I
heard that!)
These Hook & Ladder wines are spot on, if not even better! I
have
a copy of the menu at the store, so stop by to check it out if you'd
like. For reservations call Stevens at 847-599-8533. The
restaurant
is located on 21 just north of Washington St.
