These wines are finally arriving in the US in March 2009. The sophisticated and delightful wines will give you a serendipitous surprise. For information and inquiries about purchasing in the US, please contact Radee Wine, Inc. at info@radeewine.com.

I have had the pleasure of trying the Mangosteen Wine and was very impressed. Who new a fruit wine could have such a complexity. The flavour was amazing, very sensualy and sexy. I would highly recommend this wine and can’t wait to try the others.

Having had home made wines made from potatoes and raisins, apricots, and dandelions that were dry, complex, and sometimes even lightly carbonated; I would certainly try these new Thai wines. If their winemakers have the skill of their chiefs, no problem!

Mangosteens are the most delicious fruit in the world, like eating a cloud. If the wine captures that delight, it will roar ahead.

I’d say that with a quick bit of consumer education, especially considering the benefits of Mangosteen, the wines could sell very well. Who’d of thought – really healthy wine. Have they considered VinTagzĀ® educational wine tags?

I think that there is a huge market for it here in the USA. Alot of potential just in california alone! If anyone knows how to become a distributer please let me know. I don’t know anybody that wouldn’t love to try a glass of this fine fruity wine!

good article! I’ve had the Mythical Garden wines here in Hong Kong and they are really great! They actually match spicy asian cuisine very well. I wish these guys all the luck.

I have had the Passion Fruit Wine from Aspwara and it is an elegaent, complex wine which can be either paired wih many different types of cuisine or enjoyed on it’s own. An exotic delight for sure!
