Winehaven Winery & Vineyard happens to make my absolute favorite wine. As a Minnesota winery, Winehaven specializes in sweet wines and a lot of them have a fruit infusion. Strawberry rhubarb, peach, and rhubarb are amongst their more popular fruit wines. But, it's the sangria that I go for. The Winehaven sangria is wonderfully fruity but not too sweet. It also has a fantastic orange peel after taste. This sangria tastes so close to an actual sangria with real fruit, but you don't have to go to all the work of making it! You can just open the bottle! I'm getting together with some good friends in a few weeks and I thought this would be the perfect wine to accompany our reunion. We also like Winehaven's Deer Garden Blush and Deer Garden Red so we got a few bottles of those as well.
Yesterday was the perfect day to head up to Winehaven. It's located in Chisago City which is just north of where 35W and 35E meet up on the north side of the metro and 8 miles east. So it isn't such a bad drive. We were lucky to partake in the celebration they were having this weekend - free samples of wine infused chocolate sauce, chip dips, sales on bottles, and of course wine! Usually tastings are $5 for 8 wines, but yesterday we got to try as many of the nearly 20 wines that we wanted. It was a really fun little jaunt up north and now I'm stocked on my favorite wine for a while.
