Lynfred Winery

In the mid-1970s Lynn and Fred purchased the Fenz Home, located near the intersection of Roselle and Irving Park roads in Roselle, Illinois, a one-acre property that was already historical: it was originally settled by Colonel Roselle Hough, after whom the city is named. Fred and Lynn restored the structure built in 1912 by the Hattendorf family, preserving the original detail and converting it to accommodate the winemaking operation. Happily, the cellar walls, which are more than 18 inches thick, provide the ideal temperature control for aging wines.
