Years ago, Ginny made art about the relationship between people and place, looking at how identity is shaped by the communities and landscapes we inhabit. While in art school and afterward she worked in restaurants in Minnesota, South Carolina, and Oregon, where she became enamored with wine as an intimate translation of place: capturing the growing season and traditions of distant people, yet magically still alive and evolving when it reaches you in the bottle. It expressed, in many ways, what she was pursuing in her art.  Now she shares wine throughout rural central MN, from the Brainerd lakes area to Fargo/Moorhead. Her time outside of work is spent with her husband and his father stewarding family land, fixing up their 1890s house, and sharing her daughter’s imaginative world.
