Plumb Cellars Claimed

Plumb Cellars is what it is today because of Edie and Dale Johnson, Gary and Margo Kagels, and Crandall and Alysa Kyle. Back in 2003 the three couples took what they thought was a wine tasting class at the community college put on by the late Stan Clark. It turned out to be a wine making class and the three couples really got into it. They surprised themselves on the quality of wine they were capable of producing and soon they started making wine out of their garage. Their prime focus was creating the best Bordeaux style blend they could. Giving away wine to their friends became expensive so the three couples decided to go commercial and actually charge people for their bottles. By 2006 the couples had invested in an estate vineyard and a downtown tasting room. Gary, who is also a custom home builder built a Bed and Breakfast on the South side of town, named Girasol in between two other wineries, Northstar and Pepper Bridge. The proprietors of the B & B did not care to develop the ten acres their property sat on- so the three couples took out a long term lease and designed and built a vineyard which is today known as JK II Vineyard. They planted Viognier, Sangiovese, and Syrah.
