No. 13-3786.

756 F.3d 1024 (2014)

C & N CORPORATION, doing business as Door Peninsula Winery, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. GREGORY KANE & ILLINOIS RIVER WINERY, INC., Defendants-Appellants.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided June 24, 2014.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Christoper Reagan Liro , Aaron T. Olejniczak , Andrus, Sceales, Starke & Sawall, Milwaukee, WI, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Timothy J. Casper , Attorney, Murphy & Desmond S.C., Madison, WI, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before KANNE and ROVNER, Circuit Judges, and DOW, District Judge.


KANNE, Circuit Judge.

Both parties in this case are Midwestern wineries that produce a spiced apple wine they call "Hallowine." Door Peninsula Winery sued Illinois River Winery and its owner, Gregory Kane, for trademark infringement. The district court ruled in Door Peninsula's favor and ordered Illinois River to pay damages. Illinois River now appeals, but because it raises only arguments that were not before the district court, we affirm.
