She and her husband had succeeded in establishing a widely respected winery, winning several awards particularly for the 2004 and 2005 vintages. But the recession took its toll, and the bank foreclosed on their enterprise.

Trump has bought it up and is in the process is adding surrounding properties, it has been reported. He hopes to acquire nearly 1,000 acres. He also has hired the former owners to operate the winery.
