Why go to just a wine tasting or just a spirits tasting when you can have both at once?

While on vacation in Maine last week, I took advantage of one of the rainy days to visit a few vineyards. Wine tasting is always fun but Sweetgrass Farm Winery and Distillery upped the anti with their spirits.

The winery, located in Union, makes vermouth, gin, rum and apple brandy. They didn’t have any of the brandy when I was there but the rest all had clean tastes and smooth finishes.

They also make their own vanilla extract.

I ended up buying a bottle of that and the rum, which I plan to make dark and stormies with.
