Price:
$24.99
Shop Review:
A wonderful buttery semi-dry white wine similar to a Chardonnay but
with a lot more flavor. It's a jewel! Made 100% from carrots. Excellent with
shellfish and spicy foods. Bronze Medal,
Indiana International Wine Competition, 1999, 2004
Personal Review: Aroma similar to a beer, and tastes like a
sweeter beer. Kind of fruity/sweet,
and much sweeter than anticipated for a carrot based wine. Can't exactly place the flavor or the aroma
other than that, but definitely not full carrot! Very good, and possibly my
favorite wine from the visit.

Shop Review:
If you like the fresh, crisp taste of kiwi, you will love…”the king”.
This truly unique wine is crowned with flavor and bouquet characteristics,
the likes you have never before experienced before. It “rules” Florida
seafood dishes—and just about anything else from Florida.
Personal Review: Smells fruit, but not distinctively kiwi,
just like slight hints of it. Sweet,
and tastes as the nose smells. Very
light.

Shop Review:
Semi-sweet - If you like red raspberries, you will love this double
silver medal winner. A truly memorable wine for any casual or elegant
dining experience. Not too heavy this raspberry wine has a light crisp
taste perfect for any occasion.
Personal Review: Nose of raspberry jam. Sweet body, but not as sweet as jam. Finish is kind of tart, but not in a bad way.

Shop Review:
Exotic, tropical and somewhat mysterious, this wine stimulates your
taste buds as no other. Experience the flavor of fresh pineapple with that
slightly sweet/tart finish. Serve with chunks of fresh pineapple in the
bottom of your guest's wine glasses. Enjoy their reaction as they discover a
wine with flavor and style characteristics that are entirely new to the food
and wine experience. Great with ham. Indiana
International Wine Competition - Concordance Gold/Best of Show 2003/2004.
Epcot Selection 2002/2003.
Personal Review: Smells absolutely distinctive of
pineapple. Good, but not what I would
want in the wine. Too much like fruity
acidic zest for a wine. More like
a fruit juice.

Shop Review:
A fantastic Florida tropical wine. Made from fresh squeezed mangos,
it's a semi-dry to semi-sweet wine with the undeniable taste and bouquet of
fresh Florida mangos. Clean and crisp, it's ideal with any seafood dish.
Serve with chunks of mango on a skewer for a terrific presentation to family
and friends. Unique and delicious! Gold/International
Wine Competition 2003/2004. Featured Wine, Epcot 2004.
Personal Review: Smells just like mango and tastes the same
way. Very mango finish that stays with
you. Much more well balanced than the
pineapple. Either my favorite or
second favorite wine of the tasting.

Price:
$25.99
Shop Review:
A very smooth dry white wine with a slight tomato taste and a hint of
peppers. Feel the warmth...a delightful surprise. Serve with crackers &
cheese, nachos, enchiladas, oysters, salads and bread. Use in cooking for a
gourmet touch. Silver Medal Indiana
International Competition, 1999.
Personal Review: Smells tamotesque, but like the marketed
flavor not the actual fruit. Far too
dry in the body. Spicy finish that was
interesting and worth tasting, but not something I would want to drink
normally.
