Two New Wines to Celebrate the Summer!

Please stop out sometime this summer and help us launch our two new varietals. Besides the new wines, we continue to have the following 100% Minnesota Grown wines for tasting and purchase ($15 + tax, $140/case):

First Embrace (2006) - Our top-selling red varietal. Plum-cherry fruit with that's aged nicely. This Frontenac varietal is perfect for summer Sangria.

First Blush (2007) - A fan-favorite Rose' made from crushing and pressing the Frontenac grapes the same day. Excellent summer wine when served slightly chilled.

Prairie Gold (2007) - An interesting white from the Frontenac Gris grape. By popular demand, we've settled on a slightly off-dry version of this wine. Not syrupy sweet, but not dirt road dry either. Hopefully, just right.

Prairie Breeze (2007) - A varietal made from the Prairie Star grape. In the e-mail version of this newsletter, I was a little critical of this wine. The truth is that, as the winemaker, I was disappointed in how it turned out. The Prairie Star grape is probably best used for blending but winemakers around the state have been unsuccessful in creating a wine that can stand on its own out of this single grape. Well our attempt was equally disappointing in my opinion, but I received feedback from a number of people who have (bless their souls) purchased the wine and thoroughly enjoy it. It's a light white wine with hints of pear; somewhat reminiscent of a Chablis.

2010 Releases

LaCrescent (2008)
14.5% Alcohol

From Minnesota-grown La Crescent grapes, this refreshing white wine is reminiscent of a Riesling with fruity aromas that present a pleasant sweet bouquet. Taste the mango, pineapple and grapefruit flavor interchange. This well balanced La Crescent wine is excellent served chilled as well as close to room temperature and pairs nicely with seafood.

Marachel Foch (2009)
12.0% Alcohol

Marachel Foch is a cold hardy early ripening grape which has a vibrant deep purple color with dark berry fruit characteristics, an earthy light-medium structure coupled with flavors of toasted wheat and mocha. This enticing red wine pairs well with wild game and bitter chocolate. .

Wine-Tasting Charge

In the past, our wine-tastings were free but we lost a lot of wine-glasses last year.

This year we'd like you to bring your own favorite wineglass for a free tasting or pay $4 and keep the commemorate wine glass.
