Over the past 17 years I’ve interviewed Steve Johnson, Co-Owner of Parallel 44 and Door 44 Wineries many times. This time around his son Isaac, who spent the 2025 harvest as a cellar hand, will be joining us. Also, watch for an upcoming interview with Steve’s Assistant Winemaker, Bennett Ewald in the next couple weeks. Wisconsin wine will surprise you but it’s all about keeping an open mind. Steve’s sparkling wine is really fantastic and of course they are named “Bubbler” and “Sparkler”.

You can hear Steve on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Northern Varietals”. And check out Isaac defining the term “Rubbin’ Buds”.
