We just received this press release from one of our favorite places -
Door Peninsula Winery - and they have won more awards! Very cool!
--------------
Door Peninsula Winery wins
3 medals at Fla. competition
Three of our
wines recently received awards at the 26th Annual Florida State Fair
International Wine Competition, sponsored by the Florida Grape Growers
Association.
Taking a
gold medal at this global event was Blackberry Merlot – one of the 733 total
entries to receive this high distinction. This semi-sweet blend has been one of
the more-popular wines from Door Peninsula Winery. This wine brings a full,
dark fruit flavor with a merlot-style mid-palate.
Two other blended
wines – Lighthouse White and Sunset Splash – were awarded bronze medals. Lighthouse
White uses Catawba grapes. This aromatic wine is packed with melon, green
apple, and orange notes. This sweet white has a pleasing back palate with
acidity that allows it to pair well with most foods.
Sunset
Splash is made in the style of a white Sangria. It’s a sweet and tropical white
wine which is packed with pineapple, mango, and citrus tones – consistently a
favorite wine of the customers.
Now in its
40th year of operation, Door Peninsula Winery has continued to be
one of the leading wineries in the Midwest, producing over 45 different kinds
of wine, from dry to sweet. Located on Highway 42 in Carlsville north of
Sturgeon Bay, the winery is open each day at 9 a.m.
