We love the Midwest winemaking community! This past summer Laffort® USA have been lucky enough to visit and share information about our innovations with talented winemakers from Wisconsin to Illinois to Indiana to Michigan. We've tasted fantastic expressions of everything from Seyval Blanc to Cabernet Franc.  And did we mention the ciders, fruit wines, and canned cocktails? The beverage scene in the Midwest is such a dream. Here's wishing all our winemaking friends in the Midwest a fantastic harvest! We’re proud to support your work to produce the best wines possible. Here’s to continued innovation, collaboration, and raising a glass together in the heart of the Midwest!  Special shout outs to Wollersheim Winery and Distillery, Butler Winery and Vineyards, and Lake Michigan College's Wine & Viticulture Program! Thank you all so much for hosting us!
