HISTORY On the night of June 30 and the morning of July 1 , 2005 Stone Cliff Winery was vandalized when a person or a group of people used pruners to cut away a number of vines. The damage was estimated to have cost the company about $10,000. A reward was put up by the Smith family. Police also had several leads at one time, but those leads did not pan out, and the case still remains unsolved. Stone Cliff again made news on March 23 , 2006 when it was announced that it had signed an agreement with Ports of Dubuque LLC to lease a 10,000 square feet section of the Dubuque Star Brewery . This agreement is contingent with Ports of Dubuque LLC and the city of Dubuque, Iowa coming to a development agreement concerning the Brewery, which the city currently owns. Stone Cliff attempted to purchase the Brewery in 1998, but the building was part of an ownership dispute at the time - which was resolved when the city used eminent domain to accquire the building. If Ports of Dubuque and the city are able to come to agreement, Stone Cliff intends to use the space for a tasting room and to help expand production. |
