Altar Wine

[John]

I tried a bottle of Altar Wine from the Hammer Co, Cleveland, Ohio. It was produced in the Rosemont Winery, Ca. I need the phone number of either place to order. Can you help?

Hammer Co. is a bulk wine producer of private label wines based in Cleveland. Rosemont must be one of those private labels, as there is no winery listed under that name.

You can reach the Hammer Co at (216) 771-0418

Another excellent producer of altar wines is Concannon Vineyards in Livermore, California. They survived Prohibition by making still-legal altar wines for the Catholic Diocese is San FRancisco.
