'Three Pumpkins' Wine Ready to Hit the Shelves
CBC ^

Posted on 04/30/2015 10:31:54 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Boreal Winery in Warren, east of Sudbury, is trying something new: pumpkin wine.

They've used some giant pumpkins grown in Sudbury, and fermented the wine right inside the pumpkins.

It was bottled just a few weeks ago, and the winery will start selling it this weekend.

Owner of Boreal Winery Greg Meilien said the wine is fantastic.

"[We were] quite surprised. We weren't sure what was going to happen but it turned out very, very nice," he said.

Meilien said as for the taste, it's something you need to try for yourself, but added it does have a melon mid-palette with a pumpkin-pie finish.

Didn't Boone's Farm already do something like this?

Been buying pumpkin wine from Long Trout Winery for years. One of my favorites.

So, it’s a grape wine fermented in a hollowed out giant pumpkin?
