Hogg Hollow Winery

Wine: Winery: Ambiance: Oct 12, 2018

A small family ‘farm’ winery with most examples consisting of sweet fruit wines, but we were glad to find available two interesting dry wines. The white Chardonel/ Vignoles (60/40) had a bright crisp taste and the 2015 Vintners Choice was a 50/50 blend of Norton/Chambourcin having been ‘oaked’ partially with French chips. The latter was a good example of a drink-now wine holding up well with a meal. We enjoyed trying their Hogg Wild blend (blackberry, Norton, Vignoles) which was a good take on a mix of fruit & grapes without the usual syrupy tastes commonly found in fruit wines. This was a fun remote rural setting find. Tasting fee not refunded w/purchases.
