Cheeses of the Month

8 oz. Yellow House Vineyard was founded in 2014 in Afton, MN, in the only location in existence classified as a “basin of a Bissell’s Mound.” Bissell’s Mounds are natural glacier formations consisting of solid limestone. On top of excellent growing soil, this terroir is so incredible because there is an additional layer of heavily eroded limestone sand beneath the soil that changes the taste and color of the Frontenac grapes grown in the vineyard.
