It may be hard to believe, but we have a wonderful winery here in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Prairie Berry Winery located in Hill City, SD. They have several international award winners and have been hand-crafting wines since 1876, using ingredients native to this area. They use a lot of choke cherries, rhubarb and wild plums. My favorite is their "Red Ass Rhubarb". Really great with poultry and pastas. My husband likes their "Pheasant Reserve". (He's a pheasant hunter....go figure.) It's a light red from grapes and chokecherries. Good with pizza!

I love being able to buy local wines when they are this good.

You can order from their website. www.prairieberry.com.

No, I do not work for them.

Ah, fermentation! Does wonders for anything!

My only problem with non-grape wines, such as dandelion, which I confess to having made in my Earth Mother days, is that they are excessively sweet.

But I'll check out prairieberry. Ya nevah know...

Are those wines still made basically from grapes? Or more along the fruit wines, apple, pear, and so forth?
