Adams Point Winery

My friend loved these wines and even bought a bottle. Me, not so much. Not really my thing though.

I recently had the opportunity to try various fruit wines, but passed, so I was happy to have the opportunity to try this at the recent east bay passport event. I generally adore stickies and am thrilled when I find a good local one — sadly, that was not the case here.
To be fair, all I tried was the persimmon sweet wine and the mango wine and I believe they’re known for the chocolate wine. After trying the two listed above, I really didn’t want to try anything else. The mango wine was reminiscent of a rancid mango snapple and the persimmon wine had a distressing turpentine top note.
Based on how much I «enjoyed» the wine, I’d give them a single star, but I like the idea of local wineries, so an extra star for that.

I have wanted to try Bill’s fruit wines for months but he has been in the middle of a move and does not have regular tasting hours. So when I saw he was at the EB Passport event and pouring inside Two Mile we had to make a stop.
Specializing in tropical fruit and dessert wines puts many people off but everyone should really give him a try. His wines are done well, very well and they are oh so good.
We started with Mango Wine. This is made with 100% mango. It smelled sugary sweet but it was crisp and refreshing and went down smooth and easy. The Mango dessert wine followed. It had the same sugary sweet smell and this time, it tasted that way. The persimmon wine was next and was the same and the mango wine, delicious! We finished with his signature Chocolate Dessert wine. It had a chocolate nose. It tasted like chocolate wine.
Summer is around the corner. Stock up with Adams Point Wine for the next heat wave. You’ll thank me later.
