Jonathan Edwards Winery was created from the simplest of concepts—make great wine and enjoy life more often. My parents, Karen and Bob, and I made that commitment to this concept from the beginning. They often have wine (of course), food and live music in the evenings. Check out their events on their website - http://www.jedwardswinery.com/.
