From EF in Ontario, purchased in SK and brought home: Recommend…Bee & Thistle Winery Inc.: "My family and I just finished our first bottle of Haskap Mist and we all LOVED it! Sweet without being too overwhelming, goes down very smoothly and really nice on the summer patio:). Highly recommended"
From GMN in Nova Scotia: With the opening up of the Border with PEI, “Mary” was finally able to come to the cottage to visit. On Canada Day, her and I tried out the red Chiad Fhion Haskap wine while enjoying our gazebo. It was a perfect day. The first sip of the red wine was a real jowl stiffener. It was tart but got better as the bottle got emptier.
Yesterday we tried the Loch Aline Rhubarb Haskap wine. That was really good. “Mary” was gushing how good it was. As I am a red wine lover, “Mary” was real happy to partake in the rest of the bottle.
SB: Tried the Chiad (Chiad Fhion 2019 aged) last night. Probably the best fruit wine I’ve ever had to be completely honest. Definitely sweet but well-balanced.
..purchased at Co-op Saskatoon
LC: My wife and I have tried the red wine (Chiad Fhion) and both white wines (Loch Aline 2019 and 2020). All of the wines were slightly sweet, very smooth, with no aftertaste. The taste was crisp and enjoyable. We will definitely be ordering again.
KA: I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the Haskap Mist. I am not the biggest wine connoisseur so I don't have the wine terminology to describe things but it was nice and tart, which balanced sweetness nicely. I tend to prefer wines that aren't too dry, while also not super sweet. It almost reminded me a bit of cranberry juice with the touch of tartness. While I prefer the Chiad Fhion more, I would definitely try the Mist again. Thanks again for the delivery to Saskatoon, and for the opportunity to try the Mist!
MKO: Loch Aline: Great packaging. Just into the first glass but it is really good. So clean and smooth tasting. So pretty in the bottle, love the thank you card in the box. Such a nice touch.
Geraldine: I ordered the 2020 Angus Ban Limited Reserve Black Currant wine. With its rich ruby colour upon initial viewing, you would expect it to have the slightly bitter after bite that red wine drinkers are accustomed to. However, what you get is a velvety, lightly sweet and tangy explosion on your palate. I read the winemaker's notes and decided to pair it with a couple of cheese and cracker options to see how the taste would change. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the complexity of flavours with the different foods.
Sue: The Loch Aline wine was excellent. Best rhubarb wine we have tried. Would be amazing on a hot summer day. Very lightly sweet, great fruit flavours, and smooth.
Celine: Just finished a bottle of this one (Loch Aline 2019) and can’t wait to try the other ones. It was great and even better knowing that it was made in Debden.
Greg: I am not a wine drinker but I quite enjoyed the rhubarb wine (Loch Aline 2019) which I had delivered today. The delivery man, Peter (Peter, co-owner and CEO), is a really nice guy! I will watch for future wine from this company in the local stores in Shellbrook.
Colleen: My cheese, aged Brie and Imperial cheddar with a smattering of red pepper jelly....I’m enjoying a lovely glass of 2019 Loch Aline. It’s a beautiful smooth fruity wine.
Leanne: I like this; it is not as sweet as the Haskap and really smooth and easy to drink. I don’t know anything about wine, but this is fruity and tangy. It tastes like rhubarb. (Loch Aline 2019)
Sheldon: It was fantastic! (Chiad Fhion 2020) I can’t wait to try the others (Loch Aline 2019 and 2020).
Kaitlin: Loch Aline 2020, Chiad Fhion 2020, delicious to the last drop! My order was shipped within two days and Bee & Thistle's customer support was prompt with their order and shipping confirmation e-mail, complete with tracking information. It arrived quickly in very secure packaging that was easy to open, and came in bottles with very attractive labels. Included in the box was a 'thank you' card personally signed by the owners as a wonderful personal touch. The wine itself was sweet, bright and altogether a joy to taste. "A bargain at twice the price", as the saying goes! Above and beyond service with a product to match. I'm looking forward to ordering many more. Thank you!
Berniece: Went to the Shellbrook Lake Country Coop today (Feb 14) and tried the Bee & Thistle wines which were amazing. Bought 2 bottles and can’t wait to get into those. Thanks to the wonderful staff at the Coop as well. Happy Valentines Day.
Erika: Cozy night with amazing Rhubarb wine from Bee & Thistle Winery Inc. This is our first experience of drinking Rhubarb wine (Loch Aline 2019) - it has a delicate aroma and a very pleasant taste!
Tamara: I’m not a wine drinker but I like this! Can’t wait to try the MIST.
Nicole: I have tried the Loch Aline 2019, one of the best wines I’ve ever had.
