Barnstormer Winery - (August 2016) We were greeted by
Art, one of the tasting room hosts. He presented the tasting menu and we were they were able
to choose five wines to try. I started with the Gewürztraminer, made more
in the French style, it was not as floral as others, but still retained the dry,
crisp finish. Art gave me a tasting of the dry Riesling so I could compare
it to the semi-dry Riesling. Both had good aromas and flavors, but the semi-dry
was better overall with its finish. I moved to the reds: the pinot noir and
the cabernet franc were average, but the Proprietor’s Red, a blend of cabernet
franc, merlot and cabernet sauvignon stood out as smooth and flavorful.
My wife's tasting comprised of the Angel’s Share, made from Vignoles, Jenny
White, a Niagara blend, Jenny Red, a concord blend, Mile High Red and Nosedive
port, made from Lemberger; not overly fortified like other ports.
