A Florida Winery that I love for the summer

Recently I went to Florida for a vacation and my boyfriend and I were shopping in an outside strip mall area called Johns Pass in Madeira Florida. We came across a little wine shop called Vino Florida, and of course I had to walk in. They had a wine bar, beer bar, wine slushies, a whole selection of wines and wine wine trinkets, and the room where the wines were made.  Of course I couldn't say no to the FREE wine tastings. The first wine I tasted is my favorite, it was a blend called Cisa. The wine was a Sauvignon Blanc with Key Lime blended. The tastes of Key Lime, Grapefruit, and a crisp clean finish a Sauvignon Blanc should have. It was a little sweet from the Key Limes and a dry smooth finish. I liked this wine so much I bought 3 bottles to bring home to drink. http://www.thefloridawinery.com/viflci.html

Another great wine was their Sangria, I tried their red Sangria and it was so refreshing. The tastes of oranges, cherries, and apples stood out the most for me. It was chilled and it comes in a 1.5 liter bottle, which is the perfect size for parties. Buy one of these bottles and have some friends over and enjoy! http://www.thefloridawinery.com/viflse.html

Now not only do they have wines made from grapes but they also have wines made from other fruit. I tried a wine called Vino Florida ORWI, it was a wine made from 100% oranges. It was awesome it was like drinking Sunday brunch, this tasted like a Mimosa but not as tart. It was sweet and clean and fruity. http://www.thefloridawinery.com/viflor.html

They even had wine slushies, that's right wine slushies! These were heavenly drinks that are perfect for the summer. I had the Raspberry Wine freeze; it was sweet and had the hint of raspberry and wine. You can buy the mix and blend it with whatever wine, and ice and you have the perfect summer drink. They come in 5 different flavors: Strawberry, Raspberry, Pina Colada, Mango, and Key Lime Margarita. http://www.thefloridawinery.com/wine-freeze.html

Now you might be wondering why I'm writing about a local Florida winery? Well the greatest answer is they ship anywhere in the country so go shop! This great winery has a bottle of wine for everyone. Check out their website at http://www.thefloridawinery.com/index.html.  If you're ever in St.
Pete's or Madeira Florida, I suggest you stop in and have a glass of wine at the wine bar.
