Whether you’re a true connoisseur or just a wannabe wine aficionado, vintages from the famous Rose Ranch do not disappoint. Featuring wines made from unique local tropical fruits and other flora like Maui Gold pineapples, lemon, lavender, and, of course, several varieties of grapes grown right here on Maui makes for award-winning combinations. The 2012 Los Angeles Wine & Spirits Competition saw Hula O’ Maui taking the Gold Medal and 90 points! MauiWine isn’t just making wine; they’re reinventing it! And, in the process, they’re continuing to expand the minds of wine connoisseurs everywhere to the possibilities of new kinds of world-class wines being produced outside of traditional growing areas. They’ve truly got something for everyone. Explore it all by trying a taste in the King’s Cottage (King Kalakaua was a “regular” at the ranch and loved to indulge), taking a walking tour through the diary which now functions as part of the wine production facility and shopping in their ‘specialty’ gift shop. Oh, and don’t forget the photos! Rose Ranch has unbelievable views of Maui rising out of the great blue Pacific and beyond. There could hardly be a better place to take in the sunset.

Trades are breezy right now with scattered showers on the windward side and mountains; the leeward coast stays mostly dry. Tomorrow stays breezy with the same pattern.
A tropical disturbance southeast of the islands is likely to become a tropical storm by mid-week and approach the state Thursday through Saturday. The exact track is still uncertain. If it comes closer, expect heavier rain over a longer stretch; if it stays farther out, impacts will be shorter and lighter. Winds will increase late this week, with potential gusts over 70 miles per hour on the highest summits.
Plan your leeward beach time and snorkeling for today through Tuesday. Save summit drives and offshore water sports for after Saturday, and check updates daily as this develops.
