BEFORE
So, picture this: You’re driving down 99W and you’re looking for tasting rooms. You see a couple blue signs that read, “Wine By Joe” and “Dobbes Family Estate Winery”. And you think, “Wine By Joe, that’s pretty catchy,” and “Dobbes Family Estate, I’ll bet they have some great Pinots.” You decide to stop. Once you figure out where the tasting rooms are located. You look right, see an elementary school and assume, much to many of the teaching staffs’ dismay, that there is not wine being served there. Look left and see two very large metal production buildings and wonder what kind of canned goods are produced inside. So, you keep driving and wonder where in the world you can taste those wines, but don’t know at that point, you’ve already passed your opportunity because you missed the turn a mile ago. And that canned good production facility was really a wine production facility with a great little tasting room tucked behind it.
Well, I am happy to report that passing the Wine By Joe and Dobbes Family Estate tasting room will soon be ancient history and here’s why- reclaimed wood. Yes, that’s right, the outside of our not-so-pretty metal building is getting covered in barn wood from a local barn as well as the flooring from an old tobacco plant in Kentucky. Check out the progress so far.
