O'Neil Creek Winery - Creator of Fruit & Specialty Wines

Wine Without The Grapes

This article was taken from the Leader Telegram, September 2009. Joe Wynimko takes a pass on making wine from grapes. He’d rather make wine from rhubarb, dandelions, pumpkins and strawberries.

“It’s basically all fruits,” Wynimko said. “My niche is the specialty fruit wines. I don’t have a vineyard, I have an orchard. The rhubarb is all out of my garden, the pumpkin is all out of my garden.”

With the right mix of sugar and yeast, Wynimko can turn just about any fruit or vegetable into wine. He’s made carrot wine and onion wine.

“Onion (wine) is actually pretty good. I’d use it for marinating,” he said.

After working on obtaining state and federal permits for the past 1 1/2 years, Wynimko and his wife, Dorinda, opened O’Neil Creek Winery, southwest of Bloomer, on Friday.

They have a shop on the first floor of their home with room for people to stop in and purchase wine by the bottle or by the glass. Continue reading “Wine Without The Grapes”

June’s Artist of the Month

Photography has been a hobby of mine for about 30 years. I am a native of Menomonie, WI. I particularly enjoy capturing nature, God’s artwork, where there are endless subjects. Since I have a farm background, old barns and rural scenes are also my favorites. There are many interesting things in our everyday world if we just take the time to notice. Small children notice everything, but somehow during the growing up process we generally lose the ability to see the little and fascinating things all around us. Digital photography has been wonderful for me, as I thoroughly enjoy using editing programs which enable me to create different looks for the same photograph.
