Four Friends Vineyard and Winery - October 2016 We were headed to Williamsport and had stopped at other places along the way that we missed our first opportunity to visit. But fate would allow us to stop on the way home. Between my wife and I, we tried just about everything on their tasting menu.
She started off with their Diamond, sweet starting but not as crisp as others (too sweet for my taste). Their Delaware, mostly the grape of the same name, was more like a Niagara and the Vineyard Harvest (were told it was a blend) was not sweet at all. My wife was not too fond of the reds. She had the Red Sky, Beach Bum (hints of black cherry), Passion (not much there) and Summer Sun (tasted like church wine to me).
I had the Black Cat riesling, dry on the palate, but missing a nice finish. Their Sailaway (the tasting room server did not know what grape was in it) reminded me of a lightly oaked chardonnay, but that was sold out. The cabernet franc was either too young or just weak. Vincenzo reminded me of a zinfandel or chianti. The baco noir gave a nice peppery aroma while the dechaunac had berry flavors. Unfortunately, the Jax Red was weak and reminded me of cough medicine.
