Wine and dine

Maine wine lovers now have a new destination. Joan and Michael Anderson have opened the Winterport Winery on Route 1A in Winterport. Visitors can sample one of seven fruit varieties, including the new Raspberry Rain dessert wine, at the tasting room. Even if you don’t like wine, there’s a great selection of Maine-made gifts and food products. The winery is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday or by appointment. If you’d like to try the wine sooner, Winterport Winery will hold a tasting from 6 to 8 p.m. this Thursday at Momma B’s Kitchen at 96 Hammond St. in Bangor. For information, call the Andersons at 223-4500.
