well received thus far.
The future also looks bright for
Wollersheim because the winery looks
like it will stay in the family. Philippe
and Julie’s daughter Céline graduated
with her master’s degree in oenology
(wine science) from Cornell University,
and their son, Romain, is studying food
science and marketing at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. The next generation
of winemakers is already gearing up to
continue to expand Wollersheim Winery
and grow Wisconsin’s burgeoning wine
industry, which now includes more than
180 winemakers.
Holly Whittlef is a freelance designer
and writer who lives in Madison,
and blogs about her love of good design
and food at Hollis Anne.
