James Perry Vineyards, Rush City

For Sheila and James—the couple behind James Perry Vineyards—hand-crafting fine wines is a passion. The husband-and-wife team run the vineyard after they've wrapped up their day jobs, and they somehow still find time to open their home to care for folks with special needs. So it's no surprise that they greet their winery's guests like they're part of the family. The duo sits down with visitors to walk them through the season's best wines, talk shop, and answer questions. They even host wine-tasting events that draw out the distinct flavors of the varietals by pairing them with artisan cheeses and guest lectures from TV's Frasier Crane.
