The Liefies

Door County has a bunch of wineries, most of which make/sell fruit wines as there is a LOT of fruit grown there. Places there also grow their own grapes for grape wine. There is a mildly famous picture of an vineyard in CA in early spring showing the mustard blooms between the barely-getting-started grapevines; this is my Door County version, only a few days late since the dandelions have all gone to seed. (Yes, those are rather young grapevines.) Taken late May, 2008, a year where spring came very late.

Is the wine any good? Well, I didn’t care for nearly any of the dry reds I tried, although there was one winery that had a few I really liked (but made from grapes grown in CA). I do like sweet fruit wines, especially blackberry wine, and I found a WONDERFUL example of that. Wish I had bought half a case.
