An Introduction to Florida Wines with East Coast Winery
Let’s start with my favorite wine of the evening. (A big thank you to East Coast Winery for introducing us to these great wines!)
Key Limen
If you asked me to name a food that Florida is famous for Key Lime Pie would definitely be one of my first answers. (Speaking of Key Lime Pie … we had the most amazing pie over at Rusty’s!) I don’t care if you are in the middle of a snow storm, one sip of this and you will immediately feel like you have escaped to a tropical beach.
If you like margaritas you will love this. This wine has won several awards including: Best of Show Gold Medal at the Florida State Fair, Double Gold at the Indiana International Wine Competition and the Epicot International Food and Wine Festival Selection in 2001, 2010 and 2011.
Hurricane Class 5
This was a close one. The Hurricane Class 5 was probably one of the best things I’ve tasted! I really loved it. I also can’t wait to order a bottle to have some again. This wine is a really awesome blend of different wines and different fruits to make the most amazing white sangria. This is uniquely Florida! Also an award winner, this wine has won Best of Show and Double Gold Florida State Fair as well as Best of Class & Concordance Gold at the Indiana International Wine Competition.
Florida wines are known for using a variety of fruits to create amazing flavors like Cocoa Beach which is a blend of orange juice and a rich dark chocolate syrup. Oh yes. It’s good. Coco Polada is a blend of coconut, orange and pineapple. Can you think of anything better?
There are so many different wines native to the state of Florida. Make sure to like East Coast Winery on Facebook and let them know if you would like to order any bottles of Florida Wine to have a little Florida sunshine at your home!

That sounds awesome. I love a nice glass of wine sometimes.
I didn’t know Florida had wineries either! I like a sweet wine! The Hurricane Class 5 sounds yummy!

This sounds like really great wine. I will have to pick up a couple bottles for my girlfriends.
I’ve lived in Florida for most of my life, and never knew there were Florida wines either. So interesting. I am going to have to try these.

I need help finding a wine that my taste buds like. I think I’ve had one but most seem bitter. Maybe I need to go to a Wine class.

These were all very sweet! And very delicious!
I think I’d like the Key Limen. I love trying new wines!

I don’t know what I would do if someone sent me a bucket of wine to try. I would be in heaven. I love to try food (snacks) pairing and cheeses with wine. Brings out the best flavors.

Oh you would have been in heaven! There were tons of snacks and cheeses to go with them! I loved the baked brie!
I love Florida, and I wish I could move there. Instead, I’ll have to settle for a glass of that key lime wine…
I love a good wine. Would really like to taste these.

Florida never gets recognized for its wines, but we have some good ones down here. Thanks for the props!

I want to taste test wines, because each time i try to buy some, it is never good to me and was a waste of money. I love that you are sharing some wine ideas, they look really sweet!

I wish I was more knowledgeable about wines! I buy one every New Years, but go based on how pretty the bottle is lol.

I buy for the bottles too, lol. So glad I’m not the only one.

Grapeless wines sound good! I didn’t even think about all the other fruits that can be used!

I love wine!!! I’ve recently been paying much more attention to why I like particular wines instead of just drinking. Learning more about how they are made and why they taste the way they do is so interesting!

I love a good glass of wine now and then. I’m looking forward to trying out some of your suggestions.
My parents live in Florida so I am going to ask them to get a few bottles that you suggested and try them when I go visit this winter. Thanks for sharing about Florida wines.

I’m not much of a wine connoisseur and only like a really, really sweet wine, but I would love to learn more about wines.
the Hurricane Class 5 sounds like something I’d like. I prefer my wine light and refreshing
