Our Namesake
Report
Anyone living in the great city of Chicago during the 1990's couldn't help but be immersed in the Bulls total domination of the NBA. Michael Jordan was the king and everything he touched (or endorsed) turned to gold, including the iconic men's clothing store Bigsby & Kruthers. So, when it came time to name our golden retriever puppy, the tie to the Bulls was a given.
Philanthropy
Report
We are passionate about supporting local causes that are important to our team members, our customers and our neighbors.

Report
Great wine begins with great grapes. Not having a winery tethered to just one remote vineyard allows us to source the best fruit possible. By bringing the vineyard to our guests, an unsurpassed wine experience is accessible to all - wine enthusiasts and novice drinkers alike. We maintain an unprentious and welcoming environment that supports relaxation, and encourages learning and creativity for those looking for something more.
Private Events
Report
Let us make your private celebration, meeting, corporate, social or philanthropic event an unforgettable experience.

Tasting Room and Tours
Report
Our tasting room combines modern industrial style with the natural attributes of its historic location. The J. George Leyner Engineering Works plant (now Bigsby's Folly) was built in 1886. Leyner revolutionized the mining industry with a series of novel rock drills which improved the health and safety of drillers at this turn of the century and even to this day.
