The sweet matches the heat in this brilliant wine with a kick. We started with Michigan wildflower honey and a ton of Michigan cherry juice. Once fermented, we added a lion’s share of red chipotle peppers to give it a smokey character and medium spice level. A fantastic wine for dessert. Try pairing this with rich chocolate cake.

Courtesy of my sister, ratebeer’s 15_2_Kuhnhenn. It pours deep clear plum juice with minimal legginess. The aroma offers up sweet cherry juice followed by chili chipotle meat and then moving into some booziness. The taste creates a pleasing rich cherry juice flowing into firm levels of chili meat, a bit of smokiness and then capsicum heat. The heat really begins to hit midway and it lingers for minutes into the after taste. Great chili meat and heat balance creating a pleasing refreshing experience and making me want to drink this all day long.

Purplish-red colour. The aroma is fruity and with a little red wine character. The sweet cherry is right up front, and the chipotle seems to pick up steam across the palate. Around the middle is the best part, before the heat kicks in. Sweet dessert mead but I like the flavour combo so it works out ok.
