Black Birch Vineyard Continues to Branch Out
There are not many companies that can say that the pandemic was “probably the best thing that could have happened to us.” But that’s the phrase Michelle Kersberger summoned as she talked about those unprecedented times. And this was not hyperbole.
Indeed, while the start of the pandemic was a difficult, scary time, to say the least — Kersberger would load up her car and make deliveries to wine-club members just to bring in some much-needed revenue — by late in that summer of 2020, COVID-19 had played a major role in putting the hidden gem that was Black Birch Vineyard on the proverbial map. “By the time August came around, we had to stop people from coming in,” she said, adding that the winery moved all its operations outdoors, and area residents starved for things to do found several at Black Birch.
