<\/p>\nEn route to Gouyave Fish Friday, we stopped at Pappy’s to sample some Grenada Wine. Pappy’s located in Concord, St John’s just a few minutes outside Gouyave.
\n<\/p>\n
Now I must warn you that you won’t find any<\/p>\n
In fact Grenada Wine is grapeless. And certainly not the wine you are use to.<\/p>\n
The bottle says: “Makes a wonderful drink when served with crushed ice”. Wine with Ice? Oh well, what the heck: When in Rome … Right?<\/p>\n
The wide variety of tropical fruits, and flowers used to produce the many flavors of Grenada Wine lining the shelves impressed me.<\/p>\n
Except for the occasional reds like a Merlot, Cabernet, or Pinot Noir, I am hardly the wine connoisseur or wine lover. We were prepared to just meet the shopkeeper, take a drink, purchase a single bottle as a token of support for the local Grenada Wine industry (if one exists), and walk out the door.<\/p>\n
Well you probably guess by now that did not happen. I instead left Pappy’s Wine\/Rum shop with six bottles of fine Grenada Wine in hand.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
How did I go from one bottle to six?<\/strong> Well our quite, generous host, broke out two wine glasses, and the next thing I knew is that am tasting all these very unique wines, and loving them.<\/p>\n Here is Mia pictured left trying some of that sparkling Grenada Wine.<\/p>\n I never knew such a thing existed. I mean Hibiscus is a flower for crying out loud. I tried it … quite interesting. I liked it.<\/p>\n Tamarind is from a curved brown bean-pod from the tamarind tree. The pod contains a sticky pulp enclosing one to ten shiny black seeds. It is the pulp that is used as a flavoring for the sweet, sour, fruity aroma and taste of this Grenada Liqueur. Relax guys you don’t need that stuff in Grenada. Just try the all natural Bois Bande Wine<\/strong> (pronounced Baw-Ban-day). Since I was a little boy growing up in Grenada I’ve heard the stories about Bois Bande.<\/p>\n Local legend has it that if you consume too much … it might be hours before things return to normal. Bois Bande comes from the bark of a tree. If you really want some potent stuff just, get the bark. Boil it and drink just like tea.<\/p>\n The Bois Bande concentration in Pappy’s wine is not too strong, not too weak … I guess just enough to get the job done (nod, nod, wink, wink… \ud83d\ude42 ). This Grenada Wine is not the best tasting of the lot, and the aroma … well it takes some getting use to … definitely an acquired one. But I just had to have a bottle … give a guy a break.<\/p>\n We tasted everything, and it was not your connoisseur kind of tasting. It was more like a full drink. Is there any wonder why I had a nice buzz by the time I got to Gouyave Fish Friday<\/a>?<\/p>\n In all we spent about forty US dollars maybe more, which is a lot. Now the challenge I faced was figuring out a way to get them all back to the US …<\/p>\n We enjoyed the little stop at Pappy’s Shop. And I encourage you to drop in on Pappy’s when traveling on the western coast. Sample to your hearts content then take a couple bottles of your favorite.<\/p>\n If you do drop in please tell me here<\/a>.<\/p>\n And Guys you definitely want to get your hands on some of that Grenada Bois Bande wine, the ladies gonna thank you for it.<\/p>\n Check out these other Grenada west coast hot spots at Gouyave<\/a><\/p>\n or<\/p>\n Return from Pappy’s Grenada Wine to Grenada Beaches Homepage<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Grenada Wine At Pappy’s En route to Gouyave Fish Friday, we stopped at Pappy’s to sample some Grenada Wine.
