Drink Local Wine Day

Support your favorite local winery or go visit a new one tomorrow in support of Drink Local Wine Day. I didn't know this day existed until now but I think it's great. It's awesome to promote supporting local small businesses.

Rochester, Minnesota Winery

In Rochester we only have one winery, and that's Salem Glen Winery They're on the southwest side of town, south of the Mayowood Mansion but not as far south as the airport.

The other well-known winery that's quite close to Rochester is Four Daughters in Spring Valley.

I haven't gone to Salem Glen yet, so I should probably add that to my list of places to go! But I have been to Four Daughters and would highly recommend checking them out.
