Completion of Freestone Winery

Culminates in Historic Dinner

By Bill Phelps

To celebrate the completion of the Freestone winery building, Hensel Phelps Construction Company hosted a special dinner inside the new cellar on August 9. Many past and present Hensel Phelps key employees attended, not only to celebrate the completion of the building, but to honor the 70-year legacy of the company built by Joe Phelps and founded by his father Hensel. Many key long-term JPV and Freestone employees were present as well. HPCC presented Joe with a special award commemorating his achievements and accomplishments over a 50+ year career.
