Favorite Wine: '57 Chevy

First off, when we were driving to the winery, it seemed off the beaten path...but when we got there, it was amazing. There was great parking, plenty of space at the bar for tastings, but that wasn't even the most impressive part. There is a pond there, complete with swans, and LOTS of seating. There was seating under various pavilions, as well as inside, but also many tables to set out on the lawn. There was live music available, and food options as well. This could have easily been a day-long hangout as it was so relaxing and beautiful. As for their wines...they were ok. I did however, really enjoy their unique sparkling almond-flavored wine and the '57 Chevy.

Favorite Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a very new winery. Upon entering the grounds from ample parking, we were very taken in by the beauty of the grounds. There were several outbuildings of which one housed an antique firetruck. The whole area was very nicely "country-style" manicured meaning it was all very tidy but not to the point it was sterile. Finally the grounds had a very nice picnic area overlooking a beautiful pond or should I say lake. The dining and tasting area are very nice. The huge wooden doors to the entrance were bigger than life. As this is a very new winery, none of the wines are yet made from their vines. They did have a nice representation of the Norton from a local winemaker in the area. (I suspect it is Nobleis and their winemaker who was formerly at Mt. Pleasant.) As what seems to be a growing trend, they also had California Wines. They had a very nice Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Could very easily see ourselves enjoying a peaceful afternoon here especially as the winemaking part of the operation matures. Footnote is that they give you a unique glass to keep as part of the paid tasting. Not the standard issue found at many wineries.
