From the Lake Erie North Shore’s only fruit winery comes this little gem that has a decidedly deceptive name. Firehouse Red, to many, might invoke ideas of a spicy or smoky red wine - but that description would not apply to this wine. In fact, the color looks more like a deep rosé rather than a red wine (I’d say candy apple red). Sticking your nose in the glass elicits smells faintly reminiscent of strawberries and sour cherries ... then as the wine warms up in the glass, the cherry flavors come out more vibrantly ... and that's a good thing considering this wine is made up of 100 percent cherries and is probably one of the best cherry wines I've ever had. Best of all, the finish just won't quit. With each year, John Wagner (owner and winemaker) gets more adept at making his fruit wines - I just can’t wait to taste what he's come up with next.
