Widmer's
cr^INCE 1888 the
Widmer’s—first the
father and then the
sons—have devoted
their daily lives to
the making of fine
wines. Their cellars
are a model of clean
liness; their vine
yards—on the sun
drenched hillsides of |
Naples—are among
the most highly prized in America.
The result is that Widmer’s Wines
long since have won a high place in
the esteem of those who take pride
in the vintages they serve.
