By 1968 Doug was making wine. Presque Isle Wine Cellars was one of the first wineries to be established in Pennsylvania. Presque Isle Wine Cellars is in the Lake Erie Viticultural Appellation. Today the winery produces many styles of wine including:  vitis vinifera, vitis labrusca, sweet wines and dessert wines.
