AMERICAN WINE PROJECT

Mineral Point, Wisconsin

Erin Rasmussen is making wine exclusively with American hybridized grapes which thrive in the cool climate of Wisconsin. She got her start working with producers in Napa, Sonoma and eventually New Zealand, though winemaking was imprinted in her at a young age with grapevines growing in her childhood backyard. Present day, she strives to rewire the conversation around Midwestern wine and provides a look into the future of domestic viticulture.
