The wine harvest is on in Wisconsin. At the Wollersheim Winery in Prairie du Sac they are working from early in the morning till late at night cutting grapes.

Wine maker and owner Phillipe Coquard says this collection is two weeks behind schedule because of a cool, gray summer.

But the dry spell was actually a blessing. Less water means more concentration of the fruit flavor and color. It makes for a better vintage.

The grapes are juiced, pumped into a vat to distill then some are aged in
barrels before bottling. Coquard says the demand for Wisconsin wine is growing.

Wollersheim processes about 100,000 bottles of wine a year. That's double what they did a decade ago.

The number of visitors coming to the winery has also increased. Part of that is due to the wine and part because of the economy.

A trip to the winery is a great way get away from it all without going too far. Wollersheim expects to go through nearly 115 tons of fruit making wine this season.
