Nan Fuerste (Smith) – Iowa Entrepreneur

Over the years, Nan and I have become good friends.  And many of you who have attended the last three reunions have been benefactors of her planning and kindness.

As many of you know, Nan and her husband, Bob Smith, moved back from Colorado, and established a business known as Stone Cliff Winery.  It is located in the old Dubuque Star Brewery and they have also built a substantial vineyard, just north of Dubuque near Durango.  It has not gone unnoticed.

Iowa PBS recently did a story about Nan and Bob about how they have become the largest vineyard in Iowa.  What an honor for our former classmate.  Here’s to you Nan, and here’s the video.
