Delight ~ Strawberry Dessert Wine
Growing
on our fertile soils near the banks of the West River that flows into
Long Island Sound, our strawberries develop their rich flavor. At

The true essence of the strawberry explodes on the palate, complementing
a wide variety of desserts, including drizzled as a topping.
