A lone entrepreneur in Sherman is using his 15-acre plot of land to mark firmly on the map this small town just north of Menomonie. Tom Jorgensen is set to open the new Cottage Winery and Vineyard sometime in the near future, complete with growing areas for grapes, pears, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and plums. In addition to a store outfitted for tasting and selling his gourmet wines, Jorgensen plans to host weddings and various corporate events on site, making his winery a bona fide Napa Valley imitation in and of itself. The site is located just about two miles north of Highway 94 and Menomonie, and will more than likely bring many visitors to the area. Stay posted for more information when the place approaches an opening date.
