Barrels at Wollersheim Winery in Wisconsin

Yes, wine is produced in Wisconsin. We visited Wisconsin a few years ago and in addition to cheese discovered some delightful wineries to visit and write about. One of the largest wineries is Wollersheim Winery in Prairie du Sac which also offered us a wonderful experience. Don’t miss a visit to Wollersheim Winery if you have the opportunity.

Below is a recipe for Quiche á la Coquard from Wollersheim.

If you make the quiche and want to send a photo of it to be added to the recipe, please do.
