Again, the internet proves me wrong.

Three Alaskan wineries have now come to my attention since my last post:

Alaskan Wilderness Wines is up in Kodiak, and do small batches of local fruits and honeymead. They have a salmonberry wine. I have no idea what salmonberry tastes like, but their labels all have a big ol' bear whacking a salmon out of a river. I'll bet salmonberry goes well with salmon. The mead with "wild fireweed petal" looks intriguing too.

Great Land Wines has a bunch of interesting things: Pomme de Terre (potato wine), Zwiebel (onion wine), and wine made from something called the porcupine carrot. They also have a rhubarb wine.

Denali Winery actually makes grape wine, but they are a little coy about where the grapes are grown. No matter, as if the climate keeps up the way it has been, Alaska will soon be a haven for vineyards, except perhaps Anchorage (where Denali Winery is) because it will be underwater. You win a few, you lose a few.
