The Blind Horse Winery 10th Anniversary Celebration
April 27 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The Blind Horse Restaurant & Winery, a Napa Valley-style destination in Kohler, commemorates the 10-year anniversary of the winery on April 27, from 1 to 5 p.m., with live music, wine tasting, great food and more.
In timing with the anniversary, the business announces its second location to open in neighboring Cedarburg, releases a new wine and promotes a winemaker. On Saturday, April 27, The Blind Horse Winery will host a fete-style celebration in its expansive winery building with live music, wine samples and more.
The Blind Horse plans to open a second location in Cedarburg. Prompted by recent state legislation reform allowing Wisconsin wineries to operate multiple locations, the business purchased an existing historic building located at W63N674 Washington Avenue in February.
The structure was built in the early 1840s and most recently housed Elements Unleashed. The space will be designed by Steve Peschke of Distinctive Design Studio (Sheboygan Falls) and construction services provided by Jos. Schmitt Construction (Sheboygan) led by owner Steve Schmitt. The destination will feature an expansive tasting room with interiors that celebrate the building’s original design elements with plans to add a patio space alongside the river’s edge of the property. An official opening date has yet to be announced.
Also in timing with the milestone anniversary, The Blind Horse Winery releases a new Zinfandel. The Blind Horse Zinfandel – Non Vintage, a medium-body Zinfandel, yields aromas of red and black raspberries with notes of spice and coffee. On the palate, expect a soft but complex expression of raspberries and blackberries with a finish of cinnamon and peppercorn. The wine retails for $28 per bottle and will be available for purchase starting April 27 in The Winery and online at www.theblindhorse.com/winery shipping to 38 states, or to be enjoyed on property by the bottle or glass.
Additionally, The Blind Horse Winery will release magnum-size bottles (1.5 Liters | equivalent of two 750 milliliter bottles) of wine for the first time:
2019 Silver Saddle | Robust red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot aged in American and French oak barrels for two years affording a mouthfeel of fig and blackberry notes.
2019 Tuscan Blend Reserve | This Tuscan Blend was aged for three to four years in French and American oak. Raspberry and bright cherry on the nose with a long, balanced and smooth finish.
The Zinfandel and magnums will be available for purchase at The Blind Horse Winery starting Saturday, April 27.
