When the property was originally purchased, a chicken coop was located in place of our current tasting room. After a long day of planting our first vines, the Schram's and neighbor volunteers would retreat to the chicken coop to enjoy a well deserved glass of wine. Eventually neighbors and friends coined the term "Roost de Rouge" in honor of their local hangout.
