Roundhouse Winery

I attended and participated in the Illinois Soil Classifiers annual fall field day held this year at the Roundhouse Winery and Vineyard near Centralia, IL.  My part on the program was to discuss soil health as relates to plant health.  David Gaines pictured in the foreground with me in the background, discussed the history of grape production in Illinois.  Gaines is also a grape grower in the Centralia area.  Our hosts were gracious and accommodating.  Their winery is in a beautiful setting.  They have wine waiting to be bottled as soon as their label is approved.  Photo is courtesy of Sam Indorante,
