In Vino Vocation

On episode FORTY-TWO of Let the Bird Fly! the guys welcome the Rigge family to discuss what it’s like to open and run a winery in Minnesota. Laura and John Rigge are joined by two of their daughters, as they tell us their story of founding Grandview Valley Winery in Belview, Minnesota. John and Laura know how to treat podcast hosts, as they brought along a tasty bottle of their very own Old Red & White wine to share. As good as the wine is (and it truly is), we think you’ll enjoy their stories just a much as you’ll enjoy their wine. Their passion for their work and for each other is evident throughout the conversation, and we are extremely grateful to them for sharing it with us. Wade was so grateful, in fact, that he made the Rigge’s the first-ever recipients of the Things Wade Likes: Let the Bird Fly! Award, which was fittingly accompanied by a Martin Luther bobblehead.

If you find yourself near Belview, Minnesota, do yourself the favor of visiting the Rigge family at Grandview Valley Winery. And even if you’re not in Minnesota, you can keep up with what they’re up to and with the winery on their Facebook Page and on the Twitter Machine.
