Maine - Union - Sweetgrass Winery and Distillery

Sweetgrass Farm Winery and Distillery - While we were on vacation this past summer, this was one of two Maine wineries we were able to visit; we went to their tasting room while we were in Portland

We were able to try the following: blueberry cabernet sauvignon, a 50/50 blend of the title; tart yet fruity with a hint of oak; cranberry gin, with and without the tonic, best for a mixed drink; black river gin, made from blueberries; cranberry smash, fortified with cranberry brandy; three crow rum, with its bourbon barrel aging would give any rum a run for its money; blueberry wine, although blueberries are not my favorite fruit, the oak aging added needed taste and apple cranberry wine, the name says it all, with its tart and crisp apple and cranberry taste.
