Back in August after I visited the Platte River State Park, I saw a sign for Cellar 426 winery in Ashland. Not having anything to do that afternoon, I decided to stop and enjoy a wine tasting.
The winery is brand new and just opened back in May of this year. The newly built building made the wining tasting a little more exciting, it’s kind of like the feel of getting to drive a brand new car. The structure, design and feel of the place made feel as if I was drinking wine in a cabin in Colorado (the only thing that was missing was mountains). I didn’t know what to expect first walking in, but there were a lot of people.
All the wines and labels have a signature look, which as an advertising graduate I believe is great for having a strong brand name. The look is more modern than other wineries I have been, I like their use of colors as well, colors always put me in a cheerful mood and when you are cheerful and drinking wine then it makes life feel great. My favorite wine was Lacrosse, which I had to buy a bottle to bring home, so if you make it to this winery then I recommend you try some.
I wish many joys to the owners of Cellar 426 and I foresee them doing many great things in the future of building the winery name in Nebraska. If you have never been to this winery yet but live near Ashland then I recommend you visit within the next month.
