THE TEAM
AMY BACH
Born and raised in Slinger, Amy spent the past decade dreaming of a concept that would become Aspen Sky. Amy spent the past 12 years in Corporate America from Boston to LA to Denver gaining experience in finance, marketing and management. Armed with a Professional Winemaking Certificate from UC-Davis, Amy returned to her hometown to make her dream a reality. You will often find Amy sipping a glass of Chardonnay or Cab Franc while chatting with guests or chasing her two children around.
KYLE BRIDGEO
Kyle has spent the past 14 years in the Aerospace and Defense engineering field gaining experience in supply chain management, process development, site operations and technical leadership. He has brough this unique background to the production of Aspen Sky wines and spirits. When not in the production area you’ll find Kyle helping with many other aspects of day-to-day operations at Aspen Sky – and, if you’re lucky, sampling an unreleased wine, spirit or cocktail offering with our guests!
Mandie grew up in Slinger and has one son who is proudly serving in the US Air Force.She was introduced to wine by her father. He has a tradition of going to a winery for Father’s Day each year with her and her sister. Since then her taste and enjoyment of wine has grown. After a conversation and interview back in April of 2022, she took a leap of faith and left banking after 13 years and hasn’t looked back. When she’s not at the winery you can find her enjoying time with her two labs or at a local race track. Mandie recommends enjoying a glass of Petite Pearl or a Vanilla Old Fashion with Brandy.
OUR WINES
WINERY
We believe good wine is a wine you enjoy drinking. It doesn’t have a specific AVA, a specific varietal or a specific winemaker. Because of this, we source our wine from across the United States, focusing on finding the best wine at the best value. We then bring it to our location in Slinger to blend, condition and bottle as needed to deliver the best wine for the best price.
OUR SPIRITS
DISTILLERY
We believe that spirits are an essential compliment to wine. We don’t believe that a person should be forced to choose one or the other. Therefore, we have taken a similar approach to our spirits as we have our wine. We source our spirits from a variety of suppliers and then blend them onsite with the assistance of an experienced distiller to deliver accessible, easy-drinking spirits.
OUR VENUE
EVENTS
Delicious wine, gorgeous location, perfect ambiance- it would have been a mistake to not have an event center on site capable of hosting larger groups. Our event center is designed to offer private space. While weddings are our primary focus, our event center can be used for a multitude of purposes – birthday parties, fundraisers, baby showers.

The Triple Bottom Line
I took a class in college where we explored the concept of the triple bottom line – people, planet, & profit. Candidly, I didn’t get it. I didn’t understand how a company could prioritize social and environmental issues and still be profitable. Fast-forward ten years (or so) and Aspen Sky is being built on the concept – we want to be more than just another business, we want to have a positive impact on our community.
Aspen Sky Construction Update – November
I can’t imagine taking on this project with anyone with my dad as my builder. As many of you know, it is an incredibly challenging time to build. Between supply chain issues and a lack of workers, this hasn’t been the easiest project. But it is coming together and we are still on track for a Spring open – thanks to Kahl Construction.
My Hometown: Slinger, WI
Over the course of my career, I’ve done the pre-meeting chit chat routine with hundreds of different people. Whether it was my accent, the topic of football, someone complaining that 50 degrees was cold or my cell phone area code (yes, I kept the same number I got at...
