Wineries that existed in alsace lorraine during the mid 1800s

(Florence, Ky)

Both of my great grandparents on my mother's side were born in Alsace Lorraine in 1855. Both of their families owned a winery in that area during that period. My great grandparents along with their first four children moved to the US in 1888. My great grandfather's surname was Fougerousse. My great grandmother's maiden name of Coleman (Kohlman)--not sure of the spelling. Would like to find out more about these wineries if I possibly could. Great grandmother's family's winery closed around 1905. That's all I know.

Both maternal great grandparents migrated to the US in 1888 from Alsace Lorraine, France. My great grandmother's maiden name was Mary Coleman. Her parents owned a winery and I'm trying to find out where it was located or more about it. My great grandfather's name was Francis (Frank Fougerousse. They were both born in 1856. The town of Levare or Lovaire has popped up according to a cousin.
