I was reminded that there is one more Alaska wine post I need to make.

While we were in Skaqway, we came across this display for Denali Winery at the Alaska Liquor Store. The juice is sourced from grapes in Washington, but the wines are made in Anchorage..including a pretty cool presenatation of a traditional ice wine.

Unfortunately, you can only get the wines in Alaska.

I saw the Icewine from Denali Winery while we were in Skagway and the presentation is aweseome! It even includes a little jar with gold flecks in it.

It looks like most of the grapes Denali uses are sources from Washington State, but the wines are made on site.

Much more wine stuff to come...I'll be back on Tuesday.

I'm leaving for an Alaskan cruise this Thursday. The cruise leaves from Seattle, so we are going to hang out there for a few days. While we are out there we are going to check out some of the wineries in Seattle.

Which got me thinking: how many wineries are in Alaska? It turns out there are four of them. Unfortunately, none of them are in places where we are going to stop. But, it looks like many of the wines are available at Wines International in Ketchikan, which is part of our trip :).
