Nissley Vineyards
opened last week
Three and a half years
ago J. Richard Nissley had
just sold his successful
construction business and
retired—or so he thought.
“My son John had just
come home after serving in
Vietham and then bam-

for him, and I didn’t. So

John Nissley is now the
vinyard master of WNissley
Vineyards, and J. Richard
Nissley has a new career

Nissley Vineyard, located
near Bainbridge, has now
opened its doors to the
public. It is the 3rd
commercial winery in the
county.

preparation. Besides son
John, daughter Judy is
also working as the public
relations person. Mother
Anna Ruth serves wine to
the guests and runs the
store. And daughters Joyce
and Mary Lee, who live in
Boston and Washington DC
respectively, come home
every year to help with the
grape harvest.

been an amateur wine-
maker for years, and at

that changed after he was
visited by Dr. Beelman of
Penn State, who is the
winemaking professor at
the university.

some of Mr. Nissley’s wine
