I don't know if the flavor is what you want, but the U Saskatchewan dwarf 
sour cherries are supposed to be quite sweet, despite being more closely 
related to the sour cherries.

They would surely be cold hardy where you are, although they might have other 
issues, since most everywhere else is wetter in the summer than the prairies 
where they were bred. They have sold US marketing rights to some US 
distributors, so many of them are available in the US.
