cranberrydec22

This month’s wine that we would like to spotlight is our Seasonal Sea Spray wine. With this wine you will get a delicate but delicious cranberry flavor. We wanted to create a grape wine with natural cranberry flavor for people to enjoy over the Holidays. This wine is only bottled around this time of year and when we run out we run out! So grab your bottle or bottles while you can!
