Blazin' Blush Is BACK!

Retreat Hill Winery Remembers Carl Droemer

Retreat Hill Winery is in business today because Carl, perhaps knowing that his time on earth would end soon, sold his winery equipment and wine inventory to me. I will always be grateful to Carl, a man who could still give his word and make a deal on a handshake. That ...
