Pennsylvania - Abbottstown - Brookmere Winery

Brookmere Winery - We visited their tasting room in Abbottstown on our return to PA from a family visit. We decided to keep our visit short so we only tried a few wines.

My wife started with their Riesling, a nice sweet aroma lead to a dry crisp finish, something we both liked and knew we could share. The Tears of the Goose, a semi-sweet blush, too sweet at the start, but also had a dry finish. She ended the tasting with their cranberry, which we missed the tartness.

I tried their Carmine, a hybrid, which was unoaked. Unfamiliar with the varietal, I liked the fruit forward flavors. Their Twisted Trio, a blend of chambourcin, cabernet sauvignon and merlot is something we could drink with dinner. I finished off with the cabernet franc. Not the best I've had, but worth seeing how it would age for a few more months.
