Glatz Wine Cellars

ALIQUIPPA — Tom Glatz the jeweler became Tom Glatz the winemaker on a whim.​​​​​​​​​​ It happened about 1980 when his wife came home from Pittsburgh with a tub of grape leaves, one of the main ingredients in making stuffed grape leaves. When Glatz heard the price — $60 — he knew he could grow better grape leaves for less money. The grapes were a bonus.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ “Honestly, I’m really a farmer. I just really like growing things,” said Glatz, who has operated a jewelry business in Aliquippa since 1976.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​
