Favorite Wine: Beach Berry - Concord peach blend

Stopped at this winery this afternoon, and had kind of a "meh" experience. The winery sits nestled in a condo canyon across the street from the beach, and has very limited parking. Wasn't bad on the first day of winter - off season locally. But I imagine in the summer parking is a huge issue. The winery itself is O.K. - more space dedicated to Kitsch than to wine (but it is touristy Florida). The counter attendant wasn't really all that friendly and offered little information about the wine unless pressed. The wines themselves - the Chardonnay was lighter fluid, the Merlot not much better, but the semi/sweet wines that we tried were good. If your in the area, stop by and see for yourself - you might find a wine you like!

Favorite Wine: Tie between Vanilla Sherry, Chocolate Port, & Beach Berry

We went to this winery in early March of 2014. The winery itself is on the smaller side. There is a downstairs and upstairs but that is mostly for shopping. The lady working the tasting bar was nice and let us pick what we wanted from the list to try. The wines are very good, but most are on the sweeter side although they did have a few dry wines. If you like sweet wine you need to try Beach Berry. The Sherry and Port are also very good, but we enjoyed the Vanilla Sherry and Chocolate Port more. The wine was fairly inexpensive. The only downfall I saw the winery was that it was mostly gift shop and there wasn’t a place to replace with a bottle of wine. Being that close to the beach it would be nice to sit outside and enjoy the area.
