Hi Bert,

I bought a bottle of their Obsession black currant, port style wine.  It  
had much more black currant flavor than the Regal.

Tasted so many of their wines, it was easy to loose perspective.

We bought;

        Black currant port style wine

        Elderberry wine

        Raspberry wine

Be wary though...  Their little tasting cups dribbled down my shirt, and  
you can imagine how dark purple, currant wine looks dribbled down your  
shirt.

They did have a saskatoon berry wine, but it was blended with other fruit  
wines.  I did not care for it enough to buy a bottle.  As I recall there  
were raspberry overtones in the saskatoon wine.  It was a blend, and  
raspberry is a strong flavored berry.

Tom
