Although state of Florida has tropical climate and no one expects to find good wines there, Tampa wines are surprisingly nice and tasty. Grapes were first planted here few centuries ago, but it is simply too hot here to have vineyards. Even so, they have developed special vine hybrid, able to cope with heat and moisture.
Although there are some wineries in Tampa Bay Area that are specialized in traditional wine production, most wineries produce vines based on citrus, or specific combinations of grapes and other fruits. For example, the Strong Tower Winery produces their original beverages from four different types of grapes. Lately, they also offer very nice blueberry flavored wine.
Traditional vine manufacturers such as The Florida Estates winery in Pasco County, or maybe Rosa Fiorelly, in the town called Bradenton, will give you the opportunity to taste their products every single day. All you need to do is to go there and try them. In Pinellas County, there is a little winery called Florida Orange Groves And Winery. Their products are based on citrus only, but really interesting.
To be able to produce their delicious wine combinations, most wineries import their grapes from Canada and California, and then use them for making traditional Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and White Zinfandel, or for making their specialties. Some grow their own grapes as well, and you will be able to find very nice vines here.
In any case, citrus vines are really interesting. Blueberry wine, for example, has a tart scent, full body and warm dulcet fruit flavors. Made from sun-ripened blueberries, with no grapes added, it has very nice texture and delicate sweetness. Sweet, dry and semi-dry variations are mostly available. Strawberry wine is, on the other hand, mostly combined with Riesling. Beautiful, pale gold colored vine is best served chilled.
Keel and Curley winery produces very interesting combined grape and fruit wines. Some of their products won numerous golden medals for quality, and one of their great products is very tasty combination of Pinor Noir and wild berries, including blueberry, strawberry, raspberry and blackberry. Intensive aromas go very well with more intensive, spicy dishes, including Asian cuisine.
Tangerine and Zinfandel combined make a great match. This surprising combination of bitter and sweet flavors is quite popular here. Another successful match is Souvignon Blanc in combination with lime. Especially refreshing and invigorating taste is also highly popular. This vine got numerous prizes, thanks to its quality.
For those who prefer stronger, more intensive aromas and tastes, full-bodied, deep red blackberry wine offers just that. Full fruit made, this strong and exciting vino has to age for many months to become so specific. It is widely appreciated, because it has numerous great qualities. It contains very high level of anti-oxidants, among other things, and it's great help for people recovering from illnesses.
Fruit made, grape only or combined, all Tampa wines are best served chilled. Some go great with meat dishes, some are better with light vegetable meals, but you will enjoy sipping any of them in some warm summer evening. They are mostly light and very refreshing, with exciting fruity aromas and interesting tastes.
