Hidden Legend Logo White

Behind the Legend

The legend begins in Mentor Ohio when a boy is fascinated watching his uncle, a research mead chemist, transform juice into wine.The fascination becomes passion when he does his eighth grade science project on fermentation. Ken Schultz is on his way to becoming a winemaker!In 1975 he began making wine as a hobby, using the native varieties of grapes from the Great Lakes region where he lived.In 1979, Ken and his wife Lisa moved to Montana, where they lived in a tipi while they worked on their home.The lack of modern convenience did not deter Ken from his hobby and he continued to make wine and store it in the wine cellar beneath the tip!
