Coltsfoot Winery
|
|
After gleaning from the experience of Sandra's father, Earl Williams, a home winemaker, we started experimenting with *country wines. We began with elderberry & blackberry because we could harvest the wild berries at no cost, and then discovered other fruits and berries that made delicious wines. (*Country wines are wines that are not made with grapes.)
A friend designed our award winning label, so that we could give our wines as gifts. After much encouragement from our family & friends and receiving a Gold Addy and the Judges Choice from the Tri-City Metro Ad Federation in 2006, we planted our bushes, brambles and orchard, began our farm winery licensing process and started turning a portion of our home into the winery.
We felt it important to name our winery something that was meaningful to our family. Coltsfoot was a flower we always looked forward to spotting coming through the snow in the early spring. Coltsfoot is known as the "first sign of spring," or the "bloom of a new beginning.' Thus the name...Coltsfoot Winery.
We became a farm winery in February 2009, set our first wine in March, and sold our first bottle in August to our friends, Jim & Annette Thomas of Countryside Vineyards & Winery in Blountville, Tennessee.
