Established 1996. White Winter Winery is celebrating our 16th year with many
new releases! We produce high quality hand crafted meads, or honey wine,
using locally produced pure Wisconsin honey and fruit. Mead is the oldest
fermented beverage in the world but relatively unknown in modern times.
We believe strongly in using what is in our own back yard and have built our
business on this sustainable practice. We are truly a regional winery sourcing
most of our ingredients from within 150 miles of the cellar. We use what our
neighbors produce to make a great product. It helps them, it helps us, it’s
environmentally and ethically sound, and you, the consumer, know exactly what
you are drinking, where it comes from, how it’s made, and that every purchase
stays in the community and supports a family farm (and winery!). Specialty
wines and Reserves only sold at the winery. Look for our fine products at a
retailer near you. See web site for listings. www.whitewinter.com.

true wine coolers done in blueberry, raspberry and black currant. Fizzy, full of flavor,
and deliciously naughty!

Wyatt’s Barleywine: ABV 11%, OG 1.101 and IBU 50. This is an English Style
Barleywine. My version of this style has multi-layered malt flavors ranging from
bready and biscuit, to deep toast, dark fruit, toffee, molasses, and a dried-fruit
character. It has a richly high malty sweetness on the palate. This is a very special
beer for me; this is the beer I brewed for my son Wyatt to celebrate his birth. It was
brewed with 8 different types of barley and 3 specialty malts and it’s 11% ABV (his
birthday was 8/3/2011). This also happens to be the beer we are celebrating our 10th
anniversary at Moosejaw with. I hope you will stop in and celebrate with us.
