Most everyone has at some time or another picked and eaten big, juicy, ripe blackberries. Dark red in color, this whole bodied beauty comes from wild picked blackberries in the heart of the Snoqualmie Valley where they are harvested far away from dust or pollution in Western Washington. The warm after-tastes linger on the pallet well past sixty seconds. So delicious when served with natural beef or elk stew. Also quite complementary with any seasoned pasta. Medium Sweet. Order Now

It is a race with the birds when the shiney little red berries ripen. In earlier times, Native Americans used them mashed into dried meat and fat. The result was nourishing and used during hunts and long journeys. When we were kids, five years old, we tried eating these right off the tree and found them so bitter it screwed up our faces, but as a wine...Ah-h-h, sweet and wild, definitely excellent with a fine dark chocolate. The color is a delicate red. An indescribable sweetness lingers on the pallet. Order Now
The Foster Family has been living and working while homesteading in Coos and Curry County Oregon since 1868. They ran logging operations, raised sheep and cows on ranch land in the Langlois area while raising families. Returning from the Army of Occupation in Austria, Wayne Foster continued the family business and eventually converted 32 acres of land in the Croft Lake area into cranberry bogs. Croft Lake is just about 9 miles south of Bandon Oregon and is ideal for growing cranberries due to the sandy soil, ample water supply, and mild autumn, which allows cranberries to put on their distinctive deep red hue and build a higher sugar content. David Hamilton Winery thanks the Foster Family for sharing their wonderful cranberries with us. www.seamistwinery.com Order Now
Unique. Earthy. Dark, dark red, this fruit is the state flower of Oregon. Extremely hard to pick because of holly-like leaves, yet so worth it. There is nothing sweet about this wine. It reminds one of lying on a forest duff in mid-evil times looking up through evergreens to the sky above. You can almost hear the hoof-beats of the mighty chargers as they gallup past. So appropriate with pasta, all kinds of cheeses, and elegant with prime rib of natural beef, or poultry (eaten with the fingers). Order Now
Hood River is the location of many fine apple orchards in Oregon. The organic Gravenstein has a deep and whole-bodied flavor that makes this light sunshine colored wine so tasty. Some have said that to sip slowly while sitting by a fire in the coldest part of autumn is when it is best. But then some have said that to have it chilled, really cold, in the midst of a hot summer is where it's at. Our favorite blues singer, Doc Mongo, says that if you have it in the dead of winter, it is like having Summer in a bottle....sweet!Order Now
Our huckleberries come from the south face of Mt. Adams in Washington State. We think they are the sweetest on earth and our customer say this is our absolute best. Eight oz. of fruit in every bottle, Huckleberry. Really, need we say more? Order Now
Along Camas Creek far away from the beaten path, grow the heaviest clumps of elderberries we have ever seen. Our winemaker turns fruit picker to the fullest degree. Since these healthy bushes usually grow out over the banks of creeks and rivers, it is common to see David holding onto the clusters for dear life as he slides into the water below, fruit in hand, never to let go. Quite seriously, Elderberries make a deep dark red wine that adds just the right touch to that wild game or natural beef entree with a pile of asparagus to one side of those delicious herbed new red potatoes.

Grown in Monroe, Washington, these organic raspberries are like the ones you picked in your grandmother's back yard garden. So flavorful are they that when swirled in a large crystal clear goblet, one's senses ejoy the fullness for several minutes and then the memory of it just lingers on and on... Truly a great wine all by itself. Medium sweet. Order Now
Made from the petals of wild roses, the gentle pink color is just the perfect gift for the one you love. A young man once purchased a 375 ml bottle and presented it to his date. The next morning we found it returned and empty except for a $50 bill as a tip and an accompanying note of thanks. One of our customers said she didn't know whether to drink it or bathe in it... Very sweet and delicate..
Organic grown on a one family farm called Fiddle Creek Orchards, these Japanese plums are sweet and exotic. The wine is a delicate golden color with flavors that complement any seafood dish. As one would expect from anything Asian, all things tempura, rice... chopsticks... associates with the romantic taste of Shiro Plum Wine. Order Now

These are the same little plums of all colors our whole family gets together to pick every August. What a discovery. We didn't know what they were the first time we spotted them along the Snake River that borders Oregon and Idaho. Folks who come by our winery to taste say this is one of our best and it is almost always included in their purchases. Its color varies from year to year because it is a wild fruit and nature dictates how that all goes. Usually it is a clear, dark gloden sometimes-delicate reddish color. Company coming? They will really appreciate the robust flavor. Better have plenty on hand, it goes fast. A good anytime wine. Medium sweet. Order Now
