Maui Adventure

Pineapple Wine

Yesterday was a rainy day on Maui. A real soaker! With wind gales to over 20 MPH, the rain came sideways. We drove about an hour and a half to the only winery on Maui, approximately named Maui Wine. We drove through clouds and torrential downpours along an extremely narrow country road (highway 37) to reach the winery. 

Maui Wines is famous for making a pineapple selection of wine. They also have some traditional wines that are grown on their estate. We waited about 30 minutes for a tasting and some finger food. To sum up my opinion of the wines, let me just say that I understand why they are the only winery on the island. Maui is not conducive for growing grapes. The wines were not very good. This may be one of the first times we did not purchase a bottle of wine after our tasting. We did buy a long sleeve shirt, because we were chilled and wet. 

We had some good laughs and enjoyed the adventure. On the drive home we went in search for the perfect Mai Tai - I have a feeling the search will continue. We ended up at Monkeypod for dinner. I discovered a unique appetizer - lobster develed eggs. Yum.
