The
wines of Rosehall Run, Prince Edward County
Visiting wine country in Ontario, Canada, part
9
Website: www.rosehallrun.com
Dan Sullivan (below) started out
as a home winemaker. His hobby got out of control, and now he has a
proper vineyard and winery. The first plantings on this property
were in 2001, and now there are 25 acres of estate vineyards.
This was a relaxed, fun visit. We had a
walk around the vineyards, and did some tasting, and then sat
drinking some beer. The wines here are consistently very good.
