Stephan said the aim for every
guest is simple: “We want to ensure
that their visit is as relaxing and
enjoyable as possible. We typically
pour six current releases and en-
courage customers to engage with
our knowledgeable tasting room
staff. They are happy to answer any
questions you may have about our
wines, vineyards, or our family’s
history in winemaking.”

started by my
grandfather
and father
in the 1950s,
adding to
the solera
and taking out
a small amount
each year,” Stephan
said. “It’s a truly
enjoyable project that con-
nects us to our family’s winemaking
legacy.”
A family behind every bottle
Family involvement extends
beyond ownership. “My brother
Matt and I handle all winemak-
ing and daily operations while our
other brother Joe and sister Suzzie
oversee our national sales whole-
sale business,” Stephan said. Their
parents, once skeptical of the move
from Chicago, now live on the
property. During harvest, even the
family’s children help pick grapes or
work the bottling line in the sum-
mer to earn money for the fair.
Visitors can currently taste the
Glunz 2022 Reserve Cabernet,
featuring estate and mountain-
grown fruit from Paper Street
Granddaughter Nora Glunz (fifth generation) and Grandpa Joseph Glunz (third generation)
harvesting zinfandel.
