Ok, for all those who were missing Elephant Island and other beloved makers of fruit wine, cider and mead, I present you with a list of links of people who make those fine beverages when wine is just not enough. When touring regular grape wineries, it is truly refreshing to make a stop at a fruit winery, cidery or meadery. Nothing cleanses the palate and prepares you for more wine tasting than a fresh white cranberry fruit wine or a crisp cider. If you’ve never tried it, go for it. And if you have, maybe stop in to your favorite next time you’re in the area. Cheers!
