Happy New Year! I’m not a resolution kind of person. I’m a realist. That diet will end by next Tuesday, and life happens in our home so it will always be a mess. BUT, one of my serious goals for 2020 is to connect with you all and share a little more. You’re part of the Backcountry Family now – are you ready to come along for the road trip?! For those of you that are new to our story, I’ll give you the spark notes version. Preston and I are high school sweethearts who grew up in Northwest Iowa, graduated from ISU, and decided to stay to build our dreams here in Central Iowa. We bought our land in August of 2014 and began an 18 month journey renovating a beautiful century-old brick barn that now hosts our winery production, tasting room, and event space. Two babies and lots of life lessons later, we’re still doin’ this crazy entrepreneur thing and still dreaming about all the new awesome things to bring to the business.
Small business is messy. And you all know balance in life is nearly impossible, but we all work at it every day. Finding the best open hours, best events, and making the best WINE for our people has always been our goal. Sometimes we nail it, and sometimes we need do-overs. But we feel so blessed to have put wine on your table for nearly FOUR years! And man, do we have some exciting things coming in 2020! My goal is to write a little once or twice per month and share more about why we do what we do and the details of how we’re doing it. I’ll cover topics like vineyard management, bottling and labeling, Weddings at the winery, Wine Tasting 101, and more. Have questions or topics you’re curious about? Shoot me a message at [email protected] and I’ll be happy to answer! That’s all for now. Cheers! Amber  Photo cred to Wilder Edge Photography. Thanks for capturing our smash cake birthday madness!
