We did it! 
This weekend we attended the Iowa Wine Growers Association (IWGA) annual conference and awards banquet and were so excited to receive the "2018 Retail Partner of the Year" award. 
Since opening our little all-Iowa wine shop we've met some pretty amazing people in the industry.  From winemakers to sales reps, from tasting room managers to the great staff at the Midwest Grape & Wine Industry Institute there are so many wonderful people throughout the state that make our job to represent Iowa wines so much easier. 
Thank you to everyone that nominated and voted for us, we are so appreciative of this award and are looking forward to working with you again this year and beyond!
