Bear Creek Winery
These are the first reactions we get from people that hear about us. Yes we do have a Winery in Homer, Alaska. It is located on Bear Creek Drive overlooking beautiful Kachemak Bay and the Glaciers beyond.Although we do not grow grapes here, we do grow, pick and process some of the best berries in the world. Along with our signature (and very popular!) Blue Zin wine we make Raspberry, Blueberry Wine, Fireweed Honey Wine (wow!), an amazing Strawberry Wine and lots and lots of Rhubarb wine. These wines are all made from locally-grown ingredients.
We do make grape wines as well (see our wine list) from grape juice concentrate we purchase from our wholesaler who imports from all over the globe.
We also blend our country wines with the grape wines we produce. Our Blu Zin (Blueberry/White Zinfandel) is so smooth we have trouble making it fast enough for everyone. We also make “Sno Goose”, “Alaskan Chardonnay”, Bluberry Mirlo and Shirazzberry.
So when you are in Homer come by to visit and you will be able to sample any of our wines before making a purchase. Most of our wines are one-of-a-kind and cannot be purchased anywhere else.

Really deep intense plum raisin flavour which warms your throat, really nice.

Mr Prof and I went with another couple. I’ve given our overall evaluation as a group which was pretty consistent. I went with the idea of signing up for a wine club membership if I found one I liked, and I ended up picking two: Vina Robles and Dark Star. I didn’t write up my specific tasting notes on each wine, because a) I’m still pretty ine... Read More

There's an argument to be made for Riesling, and it's made on a regular basis. It goes something like this: Riesling is great, it's flexible and it's food friendly, with wines ranging from dry to syrupy sweet, so there's something for everyone to like. This has been the argument of the day for years now. Trouble is Riesling still finds resistanc... Read More

So last winter, we drank a bottle of 2004 Dom de la Roquete Chateauneuf du Pape. Delicious. Bought it at deep discount, and wished I had bought more. Last month, at a large dinner, someone (a beverage professional from one of SF's best restaurants) brought the 2007 of same wine, direct from Kermit Lynch, so the provenance was unquestionable. ...

Would definitely be interested in hearing what people think are the best wineries, and wines, in the Okanagan. Hopefully with an explanation why. Have a good friend going for an extended stay, based in Kelowna, in a month or so, and it'd be nice to be able to offer some pointers. She and her husband drink a lot of New Zealand sauvignon blanc,... Read More
