My grandfather, Carl Mickelson, was a Norwegian immigrant farmer who farmed his entire life with the aid of a large work horse. This horse pulled the plow, the wagon or the sleigh, and allowed him to provide for his family on a small, sustainable farm in Northern Minnesota. My grandfather loved his “big horse” and as a small child I learned to love that horse too. This very special wine is dedicated to the memory of my grandfather and his “Grand Cheval”. – Ken Evenstad, Proprietor
