‘The Nature of Relationship’ is the theme for the second collaborative poetry and art exhibit at Out of The Woods Winery, Poets were invited to submit poems for consideration, and Artists were invited to create a visual piece inspired by a poem.

“One of the joys of creating poetry or visual arts is that you can take your own journey and not be tied to a literal message. Words may paint one picture while an artist may paint another,” stated DeannaPersson, co-chair for the exhibit.

New Wines

We’ll be adding three new reds by the end of May. We’re just putting the final touches on them. They include: Lac Courtes Orielles Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabin Red Wine Blend, and Footsteps Old Vine Zin. For white wine, we’re releasing a Days of Wine and Roses Moscato. Look for that at the end of May as well.

New Ciders

We’re working on Hop to It, a brut hopped apple cider. Think dry and tart, with a slight hop bitterness and aroma. Perfect for those who like to get busy on a low-sugar diet. And we just purchased a brite tank, so we should have Snozzberry, Dreamsickle and Cranberry Kiss available in bottles by the end of April.

New Meads

We made a delicious Sour Cherry mead. It’s boozy, coming in at just under 13.5% ABV, but it goes down smooth and refreshing. If you like cherries, you’ll love this.

We also added two hydromels, or session meads, for those who like honey wine, but want to be able to enjoy a couple glasses without getting tipsy. We’ve got blackberry and blueberry versions. Both are lightly sweet and lightly carbonated, with a hint of berry and honey goodness.

Stop in for a taste!

We have a new gallery exchibit hanging and waiting for you to experience! Stop in for a glass or bottle and take in some work from local artists.

We’ll be introducing new wines in the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a sweet and a tart cranberry wine, and a cranberry apple wine. We sourced the cranberries from a bog near Springbrook, and the apples come from Bayfield. We’re also introducing two meads - a white pyment and a red pyment. What’s a pyment? An old term for wine made from a combination of grapes and honey. We sourced the grapes from a vineyard near Shell Lake, and the honey from Rhinelander and Hayward. So all of these wines are produced from ingredients grown and harvested in Wisconsin. We’ve also be introducing some new, small-batch ciders! Stop in and give them a try!

New Gallery Show available to experience! Stop in for a glass or bottle and take in some work from local artists.

We’ve dusted off the old HookStone recipe book and have re-created a red and white sangria. Stop in for a tasting!

You ask, we deliver. We searched the old HookStone Winery records to see which gourmet olive oil suppliers they used. We requested samples from three vendors and selected the best-tasting infused oils. Flavors include: Garlic, Jalapeno, Herbes de Provence, Scallion and SouthWest Lime. We’ll also continue to carry the Argumato Lemon and Tangerine oils. And, we’re bringing in two Balsamic Vinegars as well - Blueberry and Pear. Stop in for a taste!

The concept of the exhibit is to merge two art forms: A poet knows the intent of their poem and an artist reacts to their own interpretation of the poem. Both the poem and art work are displayed together in the gallery. The show opens to the public on Friday, September 13 and runs through Thursday, November 31.

Can’t make it to Hayward before November 31? You can view a limited, digital gallery here.
