In a year where good news hasn’t been the easiest to come by, we are honored to share that Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard has been selected as one of the Wine & Spirits Magazine Top 100 Wineries of 2020! This news comes during the hustle and bustle of the harvest season, and we plan to take a moment to reflect with and congratulate our hardworking team here at the winery. This is the 10th time that we have received this accolade.
