T Stands For is hosted by Elizabeth and Bleubeard
Since we are still in Newfoundland I will be lazy and direct you to my weekly recap of our Viking Tour last week. Lots of libations for T for Tuesday!!
I am adding some photos from the Auk Island Winery we visited in Twillingate.
Named after the extinct Great Auk, The winery has made its mark in the industry making unique wines made from Newfoundland berries and fruits and some specialty wines using Iceberg water. The majority of the berries used are wild and free of pesticides or fertilizers, making our wines as pure as they come. The berries are picked by hand by the locals and often hand delivered directly to the winery.
The winery building was the former academy school of Durrell, Twillingate. From its humble beginnings of a cottage winery it is quickly becoming an export facility, mapping out new territories and countries throughout the word. Wines can be sampled and purchased at the winery, and houses a Sub and Ice cream shop which makes homemade Wine Ice-cream in many flavors. We are also home to Traditional Newfoundland souvenir shop called the Downhome Gift Shoppe.
The trend to give naughty names to wine seems to be exploding at this winery!

The Great Auk is a terrible loss, but I love this way of bring it to mind :) I'd definitely be up for trying a strawberry-raspberry wine. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteWine-ice-cream sounds interesting! And cute labels on the bottles.
ReplyDeleteStrawberry-raspberry-wine?! Call me in!
Not a wine-drinker but reckon I would buy all those!
What a fun post. I love the sayings on the wine bottles. The funky puffin is just too cool. Have a nice day today.
ReplyDeleteThe wine labels are awesome. And now I'm trying to say Funky Puffin 3 times without laughing. Such a fun post. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteFirst, I LOVE your new blog hearder. It is beautiful. Second, i am still laughing at some of the names of those wines. Three sheets in the wind is fabulous and so is Funky Puffin wine. The others are a bit racy and you would need a person in mind to serve them to. I think you found some wonderful wine and wonderful wine ice cream for T this Tuesday, dear Jackie.
ReplyDeleteI didn't go that far east on my trip to Newfoundland so it's fun to see some thing new. You do find the best labels Jackie. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a cool place to visit and I'd love to try those wines, the labels are such fun 😊. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteThat last bottle made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteInteresting names of wines! BTW I can say Funky Puffin three times. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteI don't drink but I always enjoy the labels!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
LOL, not much of a wine drinker, but I would probably buy the bottles just for the labels. Great sense of humour indeed!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, Jackie, those labels are hysterical. I would buy all these just for the creativity. I am super interested in wine icecream too. What a great place to visit. TFS! Happy T-day and hugz
