The expression, “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear” was first recorded in 1518 in The Ecologues of Alexander Barclay. The saying expresses the idea that it is difficult to create something of great value out of an item that is considered to have little worth. Tom Hoey named his winery “Sow’s Ear Winery” and the success that he has acquired as a vinter certainly challenges Barclay’s assertion about the value of a “sow’s ear” in regard to this particular enterprise.

A covered passageway, slightly below ground level, connects the tower to the keeper's house, a rectangular wood-frame structure with a gable roof. Just northwest of the house stands a wooden boathouse, and a small brick oilhouse stands further north. (Curated content from en.wikipedia.org)
