Sheila and Niles Fleege introduced Bookshelf Wines in the spring of 2017. They specialize in high quality wines in very small quantities.
Niles was born and raised in small town Galena, Illinois. He had an idyllic small Midwest town upbringing. He and his friends rode bikes all over town in summer, played baseball, and played golf with his dad and friends. Niles followed career opportunities in California.
Sheila was born and raised on a dairy farm in south Louisiana Cajun country. She was raised by lots of French speaking family eating lots of good food. Sheila joined the military and was stationed in California when she and Niles met by chance.
They moved to El Dorado County in 2001 and have lived in Georgetown for the last few years, farming grapes at their Vinehill Vineyard. They began as hobby winemakers then partnered with award winning winemaker Dominic Mantei. Dominic has over 20 years of experience and has won many awards including the California Golden Bear Award.
Bookshelf has three wines for 2017, a 2015 Zinfandel, 2016 Viognier and the White Pinot Noir called “Dichotomy.”
Their very first time in wine competition at the El Dorado County Wine Competition saw their Zinfandel win a Double Gold and Best of Class awards. The 2016 Viognier won Silver.
Located in North El Dorado County, Vinehill is a 30+ year old vineyard located near Georgetown, CA. This 2,700 foot elevation north facing Sierra Foothills vineyard produces Burgundy varietals of pinot noir and chardonnay. In addition, the upper, sunnier slopes produce Rhone varietals of viognier and syrah. Rounding out major varietals on the sunniest slope is Sangiovese. We source our Zinfandel from award winning Thad’s Vineyard in South El Dorado County.
We wish Sheila and Niles many years of success with Bookshelf Wines.

How did Bookshelf come to be?
When we were looking for a label… When Niles and I were putting our heads together about a label, we wanted to represent both of our heritages and our cultures: Niles being from Northern Illinois and me being from south Luisiana- him being frome a Scottish Irish background and him being a son of a gun, and me being from Cajun Country. So I had lots of Cajun tales.
We had this image that we were going to put books on a bookshelf that would talk about our catholic heritage, our Scottish heritage, my Cajun tales, Central High School tales, French, French speaking, because I grew up in a French speaking household.
So that led us down the path of books… On a bookshelf.
We also recognized that reading and books have been so important to us, and me in particular. I lived in the south, hot and humid weather in south Louisiana. I grew up on a dairy farm there wasn’t much opportunity to travel:
So I traveled through books.
I think it represents well our heritage, our culture, our passion of books and reading…
…and our passion about good wine!

40-Car Pile-Up Caused by Winter White Conditions
Sue and Jim Perreault found themselves trapped in their pickup on U.S. 31 near Muskegon, Michigan when they captured a 40-car pile-up on their cellphone over the weekend. “All I could see was the cars coming in, just crashing one after another,” Sue told Inside Edition. It was totally insane. They recorded everything during the December 29 incident, including their own pickup truck getting rammed three times. Jim says being stuck in the middle of the white-out conditions was nerve-wracking.
