MN-UN: How would you describe how you got your start in the business?

PPV: The winery became available for purchase in 2014; we came and checked it out and fell in love! It has been a wild ride but it’s a fun new adventure!

MN-UN: Of the ciders you produce, which is your favorite & why?

PPV: Marquette is our favorite! We love the versatility of the wine; you can enjoy it with a nice steak or just sitting on the deck in the afternoon!

MN-UN: Tell us about a unique wine or cider related product you have at Painted Prairie?

PPV: Next summer we are excited to showcase our new Apple wine and Apple cider! The apples came from a local orchard and we are excited how everything is coming together.

MN-UN: What’s the best “bang for your buck” wine or cider (not made by you)?
PPV: Morada Old Vine Zinfandel
