Darin Johnson: Self-made wine expert
The president and CEO of $143 million-asset Security State Bank of Sutherland, Iowa, conducts his own
experiments each year, making wine for friends, family and pure enjoyment.
My buddy and I in Kansas City got the bright idea that
we were going to make our own wine after visiting these cool
wineries. We would take a weekend trip over to Hermann,
Mo., a little German town with eight or 10 wineries and bed
and breakfasts. We bought a pre-made kit and it didn't turn
out badly. From there, we started making diff erent batches.
I saw an article about growing grapes in northern climates
after I moved back to Iowa. In Minnesota, they had
been producing hybrid strains of Frontenac grapes, a coldhardy
crop designed to survive the sub-zero temperatures in
northern Iowa. I planted a few vines in my folks' backyard.
I have a wine cellar in my basement where we (my wife
100 Q ICBA Independent Banker Q August 2019
and sons are reluctant wine-making assistants) not only
store wine but make wine. We've made cabernet, pinot
noir and even a really good riesling one time. I've got some
bottles that I made when we fi rst started back in Kansas
City-it's been 20 years.
One time in our earlier processing days, the wine was a little
dry, so I tried to add sugar to it. I thought I was smart, made
fancy labels and caps and gave them away as gifts. Later, several
of my friends called and said, " Hey, that wine you gave me
actually exploded everywhere. " It was because the yeast wasn't
dead yet; it was regenerating and popped all of the corks off
the top. When it comes to the key to success for making wine, I
still haven't fi gured that out yet.
