During the tall ships race 2011 we visited the Italian chapel, where we found a wine shop. As the rain was pouring down on us we entered the shop. We were surprised when we noticed that the shopkeeper was originally Dutch, some of our group were from Holland as well, so we started a chat (I was one of the Dutch). We bought some wine after we tasted some as well. I was really surprised about the taste and even more surprised about the idea to make wine and other alcoholic drinks from all of those fruits.
I wish you all the best for the future.
cheers, the Dutch guy

My husband and I brought back some bottles of your excellent wines to Germany during our holiday in Scotland last spring (unfortunately, we spent only one day on Orkney). And every single one has been absolutely delicious. We planned some of them to be gifts, but in the end only two made it any further than our own larder *ggg*.
Raspberrylicious is sensational and Strubarb went perfectly with our christmas dinner´s dessert. As we - unfortunately - won´t come back to Orkney in the next months, we´ll definitely fill up our stocks via the online shop in the near future. Best wishes,
Silke + Marc from Germany

I wish to let you all know that the Raspberrylicious is simply delicious. I have just made a Christmas order and as always I will be including the Elderberry Borealis. I love the new shop and so will all the visitors - everyone who visits Orkney in 2009 will have the opportunity to drop in - a 'must do' on the tourist trail. Patricia Sinclair, Kirkwall, Orkney

Christmas isn't the same without Black Portent now that we have discovered it..great gifts for discerning palates too! E Hayes, Nottingham

Bought a few bottles of your wine during my first visit to Orkney. I fell in love with the Elderberry Borealis. Can't wait til they are available here in the Netherlands. Cheers! Ruud Witte, Gouda, The Netherlands

Thank you for my order of six bottles of your excellent wines. So far I have tried the Gooseberry and Blueberry and was very pleased to find that the clean, crisp taste of these wines is completely different to that which I experience when drinking wines with sulphur. You said that the Gooseberry has a small amount of sulphur to prevent secondary fermentation in the bottle but I have been unable to detect this.
I still have Gorse and Rosehip to try yet but I feel sure they will match the high standard of the others. I don't drink wine every day so am pleased to find that your claim regarding the keeping quality of your wines - in spite of their low sulphur content - is entirely correct. I still have a small amount of the Blueberry left (opened the day after it arrived) and it tastes as fresh today as it did two weeks ago. It may be a while before I re-order from you due to my limited consumption, but having tasted your non-chemically produced wines I am now sure that I can't go back to buying the usual sulphur polluted wines that are commonly available.
With thanks and best wishes, Nathan Gill , Kent

My Husband and I have just enjoyed a bottle of your Hop wine, purchased and saved from last year on a holiday in Shetland. Absolutely delicious!! and really refreshingly different. Best Regards Carol Quinn, Winchester

I brought a bottle of the rhubarb and strawberry wine for my sister in law after our last holiday, but when we arrived home I was so loth to part with it, i gave her a bottle of meade from our local outlet, and drank your wine myself. I am so ashamed, but it was worth the slight deception. I have put in a request to the outlet in question, asking if they might stock your wines, they already have Orkney cheese, so hopefully.... Yours sincerely, Brenda Dewhurst, a very appreciative consumer

I bought two bottles of Black Portent at the game fair at Glamis Castle on the 1st of September. I have done nothing but rave about how good your wine is to my family and friends at work. I have been trying to find wine of that calibre in supermarkets for years and can't bellieve I finally found the wine I have been looking for! Shamis, Fife

Nectar of the gods! John Smith

I just thought I'd tell you that I ordered for the first time recently and received my bottle of Strubarb, which is wonderful!!! I drank far too much last night, as it was so gorgeous. So thanks very much - I'll definitely be ordering again. Alison O'Brien

I am amazed at the quality of the wine and the service was superb. Two days after placing my order on-line, I was sipping the newly delivered wine! May your business go from strength to strength. Christine Boyer, Oxfordshire

We bought a bottle of your Hop wine in Skye last year and enjoyed it very much. We make home-made wines ourselves, so an extra part of the interest was trying to work out all the ingredients you had used: the taste was excitingly different from the other wines we know already (grape/traditional) Richard Bennett

My wife and I first visited Orkney in April this year whilst on our honeymoon after marrying in the Highlands. We instantly fell in love with
the islands and the people and we can't wait to return. We sampled your wine in Stromness and became 'hooked'. Mark & Nicola MacDonald

Following a holiday to Orkney I have fallen in love with your wine! Jacqui Maunder

Thank you for the Cranberry wine. The quality of this Weines is fantastisch! Many greetings, Michael/Germany

I have just tried a wee glass of your Black Portent. I think I've died and gone to heaven - I've never tasted anything as good! I look forward to trying all your other recipes in the near future. Louise Park Perth, Scotland

I got a bottle of Black Portent as a Christmas present and just wanted to say how fantastic it is. I shall be making use of your online ordering in future! Regards Leanne Aitken
