ABOUT US

    The Fenton Winery & Brewery was opened in
    January 2008.  What originally started as a winery
    offering tastings and retail bottle sales, grew over
    the first year and a half to become a wine bar,
    offering wine by the glass, a full menu of food,
    and Fenton's best variety of live music.  The
    wine bar now offers 20+ hand-crafted wines,
    Sangrias, house made sodas, flavored coffees,
    and desserts from local markets.

    An exciting new chapter for the business was the
    addition of brewing operations in December 2009.
    Looking to build upon the success of the wine bar,
    Matt and Ginny submitted paperwork to obtain a
    Brewpub license in early July of 2009.  A short (but sometimes long) 5 months later,
    the license was in hand and brewing operations commenced.  Each of our batches is
    truly hand-crafted in small lots of 5 gallons each, and the beers have been very well
    received.  The success of our beers has demanded a larger brewing system, hence, we
    will have a 1/2 barrel (15 gallon) system in place by early August.  This system will
    allow us to keep up with demand, as well as, expand our beer offerings (from 4 to 6)
    sometime in Fall 2010.  Our unique beer delivery system (i.e. kegging system) consists
    of a 1950's era refrigerator that was salvaged, refurbished, and converted for operation
    as a kegerator.

    The owners, Matt and Ginny Sherrow, have lived in the area for the past 7 years and
    have enjoyed becoming a part of the Fenton business community.  Matt and Ginny
    have two boys, Joshua (7) and Kyle (6).

    Matt is an automotive engineer and program manager turned wine maker (now
    brewer).  A Kettering University alum, he fell in love with the idea of
    entrepreneurship while earning my MBA at DePaul University in Chicago.  The
    original plan after DePaul was to work up the corporate ladder to eventually
    manage a manufacturing plant; however, Marketing and Entrepreneurship classes
    at DePaul changed everything – the idea of starting a small business had been
    born.  Creating the Fenton Winery was the perfect opportunity to combine a love
    of wine with the desire to start a small business.

    I believe that drinking wine is truly in the eye of the beholder.  You shouldn't feel
    intimidated by drinking wine - it’s an individual experience to be enjoyed however
    you please.  Many of my favorite wines are not judged based on the price of the
    bottle; rather they are remembered best for the atmosphere, friends, and memories
    that were part of the experience.  I would love to have the opportunity to help you
    find your own favorite wines.
