More about Jim Vick and Jim Elverhoy: This week, we have Jim Elverhoy and Jim Vick – affectionately referred to by some fans as Jim Squared. Jim Vick is known as the Ski Hill Guy, operating as general manager and music booking manager for the ski hill until his retirement in 2024, but to his friends, he is known as a skilled guitarist and vocalist. Jim Elverhoy is a familiar face in the winery’s music lineup, regularly sitting in with our weekly musicians and performing with John Kron in our Weekend Winedown lineup. Together they put on a memorable performance and one that we don’t get to enjoy often enough!

About the North Shore Winery

Chuck Corliss and his wife Kim founded the North Shore Winery and the Sawtooth Mountain Cider House in Lutsen, Minnesota. The winery offers a variety of red, white, and rosé wines, as well as hard ciders made with a local flair. The winery is open to visitors for tastings, bottles, or a glass of wine. They also host private events.

The idea to build a winery took off when Chuck and Kim were discussing retirement plans and what to do when finished with their “day” jobs. The couple wanted to live in Lutsen so they could ski, mountain bike, sail, and golf full time. Combined with lifelong “research work,” they thought a winery would be a fun new attraction in Lutsen!

The winery has grown substantially since its grand opening in 2016 and the Hanson family has been involved since the beginning. With the addition of Jeremy and Mary as partners, the Winery gained additional leadership engaged in the day-to-day operations of the business so it would continue to provide great customer service and good times its customers have come to enjoy.

Jeremy and Mary have been spending significant time on the North Shore since the 1970s, first on the Gunflint Trail and since 2004 in Lutsen. They enjoy Northern Minnesota, starting with BWCA canoe trips in the 70s and family vacations along the North Shore and the Gunflint Trail. They are high school sweethearts (Minneapolis Central!) who have been married for 29 years and have three grown children: Graham, Ana, and Maddy. They enjoy being outdoors – in the woods or on the lake; mountain biking, skiing, fishing, hiking, boating, spending time with friends and family….and yes, drinking wine out on the deck!

We will definitely be back!

We LOVED the town of Grand Marais. This hotel was the perfect location to walk anywhere in the town. It was so convenient to just walk to restaurants, shopping and the beach. The view from the room was fantastic and unexpected. The room had a little patio that overlooked the lake. It was very clean and had a nice tile shower with a double shower head. So much nicer than what I expected. They also had a very nice fitness room, which I didn’t use since the weather was great and we got lots of exercise outdoors. But this would be great in the winter or inclement weather. There was a free breakfast which was nice. They kept it clean and well maintained, which I noticed and appreciated. Can’t wait for our next trip! We will definitely stay here again!
