Mineral Point is a small town located almost halfway between Madison, Wisconsin and Dubuque, Iowa. Charming and full of history, you would never know there was a winemaker there with a background that includes New Zealand and Napa Valley. Erin Rasumssen is the Founder of The American Wine Project and you can find the tasting room right on Ridge Street. Erin makes wine from hardy, cold weather grapes and is a great believer in their potential. I visited the tasting room a few weeks ago enjoying the winter scenery as well as the cozy tasting room. I highly recommend this winery as you will likely be surprised.

You can also hear Erin on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Foxy”
