Tasted these Canadian commercial fruit wines?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has tried any of the following Canadian commercial fruit wines:

Sunny Brook Farm Winery - anything Birtch Farms & Estate Winery - anything Quai du Vin Estate Winery - Rhubarb Magnotta Winery - "Blueberry Blue", "Cranberry Hill" Joseph's Estate Wines - Pear, Peach

Any comments much appreciated.

It's been a couple years, but I tried their "framboise" wine... it was a sweet raspberry dessert wine. To be honest, I don't recall much, but it was full of raspberry flavour and had enough body for a dessert wine.

Although it's not on your list, Konzelmann makes a nice peach wine, a bit on the sweet side, but it's a lighter wine with fresh peach aromas and light body and colour. HTH

Thanks Charles.

If you (or anyone else) can recommend any other interesting Canadian fruit wines to try I'd be interested to hear. I'd prefer drier than sweeter, but am open to anything.

Sure, the other winery that came to mind after posting was Cox Creek Cellars My favourite wine of theirs is the "Back Home" blackcurrant wine. The also make a chesnut aged Pinot Noir that is interesting.

Tried Soutbrook Farms " Cassis:---did not really enjoy it much.. Tasted like Ribena to me. Served as an after dinner drink with Chocolate fondue and fruit..everyone at the table said they would have preferred port, cream sherry or.....

I have a bottle at home of Sunnybrook Farm Spiced Apple which I plan on trying in next 2 weeks. Will report back..description on bottle says serve with ham or bbq pork, slightly chilled or warm in a mug for evening beverage....

There is a winery in Newfoundland...they do fruit wines..I think its called Rodrigues..I brought back a couple of bottles when I visited a couple of years ago..they were pretty good. I don't know if they are available elsewhere though. Things like strawberry, blueberry, partridgeberry, etc

I didn't particularly enjoy the blueberry wine, but it wasn't tasted under ideal circumstances, so I haven't ruled it out completely.

I think there are more places around than we know. There's a winery in Three Lakes, Wisconsin, they do all fruit wines as well. I've tried a few - especially liked their plum. Darlene
