| Owner/Winegrower Joe Olexa started Ankeny Vineyard when he moved onto the land in 1980 and started preparing the ground for planting. With four college degrees, none of which had anything to do with growing grapes, he was ready to pursue his love affair with dirt. Over the years, thirty-five acres of grapes were brought into production with the emphasis on Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Marechal Foch. | ||
