Making wine in Madison

Madison history and tradition goes back many generations. Much of it is nostalgia, now.  The flower nurseries are history, Bottle Hill is just a name, the Tuttle Oak is gone, even the State championship football teams are decades away.
 But the tradition of wine-making, brought to Madison by Italian immigrants, lives on. Watch the process. Many of the families that started the tradition are still here, still pressing grapes, still enjoying dinner with wine made in the basement,  Watch the credits at the end -- it's almost like reading the local phone book!
