Sweet Baby Vineyard - (August 2015) This was the first of many wineries we visited while traveling through New England on our vacation. They are a short drive off the interstate, but will be moving in the future. We walked into the bottling area and walked up the stairs to their tasting room (it did not overlook the operations). We were able to taste six wines.
I chose the marechal foch, with its soft oak taste, because it was a new varietal. The amarone, a red blend, was better on the palette. Callum's red is similar to a church wine, but not as sweet. For the whites, I tried the pinot grigio, with hints of pineapple, the chardonnay, crisp and not heavy on the oak, and the Farmstand white, a semi-sweet blend.
My wife started with Callum's red, but quickly went to their Niagara and fruit wines. She tried the blueberry, apple cranberry, which was tart, light in color and not a blush as expected, the bartlett pear, which was sweet like a Niagara, and strawberry.
(March 2017) - We were at the Eastern Wine Exposition in Syracuse, NY and they were part of the opening reception. We reintroduced ourselves to their wine. I could not get a good look at the bottle, but the white I tried was nice and balanced.
(March 2018) - We were at EWE in Lancaster, PA and for another year, were part of the welcome reception. There was a crowd at the table and by the time I got back around, the reception was ending. There will be a next time.
