It's in Egg Harbor (outside of Atlantic City) & I think it's been there since the mid 1800's. It may even be the oldest running winery in the US. I'm sure it's an historical landmark of NJ. It also has a golf course now & more. (One of my sister's had her wedding reception at the restaurant there). Since you mentioned NJ, the time frame being close & the name being similar, I thought it was worth the mention. Sorry I don't have information on your family. Good luck on your search.
