In 1889 a private railroad was built on the property and more than 300 gallons of wine were shipped daily. In 1927 all of the buildings except the brick distillery were destroyed by fire. In 1965 the present owners, the Duane Heinlen family, remodeled the structure as it stands today." (Submitted on August 17, 2020.)
