“My entire blog ‘In the Land of Lynfred’ (a word play on ‘In the Land of Lincoln’ since we are in Illinois ) is really about the lifestyle that comes with working at and being a patron of your local winery – we’re fun, a little kooky and very approachable.”

A True “Mom-and-Pop” operation becomes a nationally renowned
winery
A pioneer of the Illinois wine industry, Fred
Koehler made his debut batch of wine in the basement of his Roselle home in
1975. With his ingenuity along with the creativity
and encouragement of his late wife, Lynn, Fred continued to craft quality wines
in their renovated basement for four more years. When the “Mom-and-Pop”
operation outgrew the couple’s basement, Fred and Lynn opened up Illinois’
first official winery, Lynfred Winery. A clever play on the couple’s names, Lynfred
ensured the legacy of its founders would live on for years to come.
