Thanks to the vision of Guy Renzaglia, several visitors to Alto Pass were able to stop and enjoy a glass of wine last Saturday morning.

The visitors had stopped at the Alto Vineyards winery in the Union County village on a bright and sunny November morning.

They were able to visit a local winery because Mr. Renzaglia's dream came to fruition in the form of Union County's first winery.

Guy Renzaglia died early Wednesday morning, Nov. 4, at this home in Mahomet. He was 92.
