Alaskan wine - it ain't just grapes!

Using the natural bounty of wild berries, gourmet vegetable wines made for cooking - along with hardy grapes to make great tasting ice wines - Alaska remains the great frontier of wine making in America.

A bit of the grape (or the berry) is just what's needed on those long dark Alaskan nights, and local wine makers are heeding the call ...
