WHITE WINES
  Whisker White
An estate grown dry white wine with subtle features of crisp tropical fruit aromas of pineapple, mango, and a touch of banana and melon starburst. An unusual grape, Elvira was a spontaneous hybrid in Missouri about 1869. Great for that afternoon spent with friends or just relaxing on the front porch swing.

  Boule de Poils
An off-dry white wine, it has been compared with Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. Racy with aromas of grapefruit and a background of pineapple, lemon and lime. If you don’t know French, ask for the translation.

  Edelweiss- not available at this time
Another Iowa grown masterpiece, this grape grows very well in our state. Voted Iowa’s best wine in the 2008 Mid American Wine Competition, this wine is our biggest medal winning wine. This off-sweet white wine will delight you with its delicate floral aroma and mouthwatering sweet peach, pear, honey and pineapple flavors in the glass.

RED WINES
  Frontenac
A delightful dry red with complex aromas of blackberry, black currant and cherry brought alive from aging in American oak barrels for 12 months. Definite sexy aromas of oak and vanilla imparted from the aging in barrels. Pairs with hearty foods, game meats like duck and pheasant, lamb, and grilled meats.

  Ditchweed Red- not available at this time
A not-quite-dry red wine with lots of fruit aroma and medium bodied on the palate. This is back to the original Ditchweed… not at all earthy. Enjoy with barbecue meats, steaks or red pastas.

  High Trestle Taille- not available at this time
Sweet with intense flavors of ripe cherries, red raspberries and a creamy, full feel to the palate. We suggest serving at room temperature for the best flavors but does well if you like it chilled. The party starts with this wine at any time or place.
