As a Wisconsinite, it does me proud to hear that we are being recognized for more than just our cheese. You can pair your wine with more than just cheese, I like drinking my wine with a good piece of meat or fish. I think I’ll start looking online for some Wisconsin-area wines and give them a try!

Key Takeaways:

• The minute Tyler Sailsbery—chef/owner of The Black Sheep in Whitewater, Wisconsin—decided to pour local wines, business partnerships started to happen.
• Wisconsin isn’t the only state where the wine industry is making inroads on restaurant wine lists.
• Sussing through local wines, however, takes considerable amounts of research.

“Wisconsin isn’t the only state where the wine industry is making inroads on restaurant wine lists. Virginia, Texas, Washington, Oregon, North Carolina, New York, and Michigan are among the states where the wines are rising into acclaim.”
